\nERODE: Erode Textile Readymade Garments Exporters Association will start a Common Facility Centre (CFC) in Erode to help readymade woven garment exporters.<\/p>\n
Woven readymade garments worth Rs 250 crore are exported from Erode every year.<\/p>\n
Exporters here get orders worth about Rs 1,000 crore annually. But they cannot execute the orders owing to paucity of tailors. Erode Textile Readymade Garments Exporters Association secretary S. Sivanandhan told The Hindu : “Within two years, the readymade garment industry in Erode has made rapid developments and till 2004 we used to export readymade goods worth only Rs 100 crore. We now execute orders worth Rs 250 crore. But we cannot meet bulk orders owing to manpower shortage.”<\/p>\n
The Association is providing free training in tailoring and garment industry-oriented programmes to unemployed men and women.<\/p>\n
