Sri Lankan clothing exporting companies with only strong management skills and good productivity will survive and will be competitive in the international market, if Sri Lanka loses its GSP+ status, was the opinion of a top garment exporter.
While speaking exclusively to fibre2fashion, Mr Deshbandhu Kumar Dewapura, Chairman, Tristar Apparel Exports said, “We have settled terrorist problems. The biggest drawback was terrorism in Sri Lanka, which has now been completely wiped out”.
He continued by saying, “The buyers are now reposing confidence on the Sri Lankan clothing industry and have come back to Sri Lanka and our garment business will reach higher levels for next five years without any doubt”.
However, according to him the only stumbling block was renewal of GSP+. “If GSP goes then companies with only strong management skills and good productivity will survive and will be competitive in the international market."
