Coordinator of business and investment of the Institute for Export and Fashion of Colombia (INEXMODA) Carolina Fernandez, recently met with Peruvian entrepreneurs in Arequipa to invite them to participate in the Colombian fair, reports La Republica.

Ms. Fernandez said INEXMODA invites entrepreneurs from the Peruvian Arequipa to participate in Colombiamoda as not only are the textiles and apparel manufacturers in the region talented, but they have also been working on research to create new fibres and INEXMODA wants to offer them an opportunity to present their products on an international platform.

The INEXMODA official said that the quality of Peruvian products, especially in alpaca, vicuna wool and cotton, have turned the country into a major competitor in the international textile market, and Peru has a manufacturing industry which is continuously developing, with dozens of new apparel brands, she added.
