An interesting Q&A session with Mr. Muzaffar Rakhmatov
of Bct_denim.
From this report , we can see that TCP – The Children’s Place is the biggest buyer for denim during this period and has almost bought from all the large exporters. Ethiopia is just under a take off stage and we are likely to see many more buyers starting to source from here over next few years and exports are likely to grow significantly.
