Dear Members,
We are glad to inform you that the Council in association with the Indian Missions in Africa/WANA will be organising exclusive BSMs for Synthetic and Rayon Textiles from 15th to 17th March 2021 on Virtual Platform. The event is being organized in association with all the Indian Missions based in Africa/WANA and with the support of Ministry of Textiles and Ministry of Commerce & Industry under MAI Scheme with a view to significantly enhance India’s trade with the entire African region.
The details of the event are as follows:

The BSMs with Buyers from Africa/WANA will be a dedicated sourcing marketing place for expanding textile trade. Buyers will be invited from all the African countries by the Council with the help and guidance of Indian Missions and Textile Trade Associations in these countries.

Publicity & Promotion of the Event: The Council will extensively publicise the Event by sending E-Invites to the prominent Buyers to attend the BSM, seek support of all the Indian Embassies/ High Commissions/Consulates based in Africa/WANA to advertise the event on their websites, social media as well as coordinate with related local Textile Associations to advertise the event.

The Council will be organizing Webinars by inviting the Ambassadors/High Commissioners of Indian Missions in Africa/WANA as well as prominent buyers to make them aware about the program well in advance before the event on Virtual Platform.
African Textile Market: One of the main exports from India to Africa is textiles and different kinds of garments & clothing. Both African and Indian cultures are based on certain clothing traditions, and this is always going to be a developing market. Plus, the textiles coming from India are exported at a fair price which is very important for the African importers. Clothes will always be a must and a basic necessity which is why they are a great opportunity for an Indian exporter. Regulations are light and less rigid when it comes to exporting goods, and Indian materials are very appreciated by African people regardless of their social status. The global demand for African textiles and clothing has been growing for years and African patterns are now recognised as being truly fashionable and iconic. International fashion brands have increasingly been integrating African styles into their latest collections.
Textiles and clothing offer huge opportunities for countries looking to industrialise. African markets are fast developing and due to special preferences from US & European countries, they have become preferred suppliers for many developed markets. With the development of readymade garment manufacturing, the demand for MMFT raw material is fast increasing and holds big opportunity for Indian manufacturers.
