Nicaragua, for example, has experienced a 18%+ increase in exports whereas , Mexico has suffered a marginal fall. Mexico has also reduced its difference in terms of volumes vis-a-vis China . These figures are an indication that nearsourcing is getting popular with US importers. <\/p>\n
Lets have a look at which category \u00e2\u20ac\u201c men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s or women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is responsible for this fall that we are looking at. The results are surprising, it is women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s denim imports which have fallen <\/strong>at a rapid pace and lost over 13% in volumes. While men\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s denim apparel imports have mostly been higher than women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s , the difference seems to have increased much more this year. <\/p>\nMen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and Women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Denim Exports Jan-May 2011\/2012<\/h3>\n
