Business of second hand garment is quite flourishing in all across the globe especially in African countries. This sector has grown into an important economic factor which provided a living for more than a hundred thousand people. “Added to this is a fact that the second hand clothes enjoy a high degree of acceptance mostly in the rural areas and even among all social strata. This is probably due to low purchasing power, small proportion of people involved in textile clothing production and less custom duties”, informed the CEO.
Business of such merchandize has boomed in Tanzania owing to good response from consumers. Although Government has tried to put ban on imports of used pants, to stop possibility of users developing skin disease, traders depend a lot on the smuggled goods.
