-Brazil’s textile and apparel production increased by more than % year-on-year

According to the “Brasilia Post” report on July 8, according to statistics from the Brazilian Textile and Apparel Industry Association (Abit), Brazilian textile production increased by 36.3% year-on-year from January to May this year. Clothing output increased by 36.6% year-on-year. Brazil’s textile output is expected to increase by 7.4% year-on-year this year, and clothing output is expected to increase by 13.6% year-on-year. Although rising raw material prices have put pressure on the Brazilian textile and apparel industry, this pressure has not been completely transferred to consumers due to the strong productivity and competitiveness of the industry. At present, the development of Brazil’s textile and apparel industry is also restricted by factors such as Brazil’s energy supply and the progress of COVID-19 prevention and control. </p
