TEXTILE SUB AND GARMENT SUB SECTOR
Ethiopia has long tradition of manufacturing textile on cottage industry scale
Hand spinning
Handloom weaving
Major employment generation particularly rural areas
TRADITIONAL TEXTILES
Estimate 500,000 handloom weavers
Even more number of hand spinners
INDUSTRIAL TEXTILE MANUFACTURING
First integrated textile mill Dire Dawa Textile Mill Established by foreign capital in 1939. (Italian)
This was the Beginning of the textile manufacturing on Industrial scale
During 196o’s5 large-scale integrated textile enterprises were established mainly by
private capital,
The socialist regime, which reigned from 1974 to 1991, nationalized private textile and apparel firms and at the same time established 4 more integrated textile mills to expand the sector in order to satisfy the domestic demand for regular textiles and substituting imported products.

The majority of garment manufacturers in Ethiopia works on a CM / CMT
The necessity to move from CM/CMT to RTU/ RTS type of co-operation is part of the development trends on the international garment markets .
RISK, MERITS AND REQUIREMENTS TO MOVE FROM CM/CMT/RTU TO RTS/COLLECTION BUSINESS
• High risk • High profits

Qualified designers
INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTIVITY INCREASE
Because of low labor cost, any improvement in productivity will provide a competitive advantage to Ethiopian garment sector.
This should be possible because many garment factories are technically very well equipped
it would be important to improve the qualification of the machine operators and
internal production planning (e.g. material and work flow etc.) in order to improve productivity.
This means that a productivity increase would not require large investments (compared to purchase of new machinery).
IoTex can play a major role in productivity and quality improvement by providing training
AVERAGE PRODUCTION, TIME FOR SELECTED PRODUCTS (APPROX. IN MINUTES PER ITEM)
The average production time per item in Ethiopia is currently significantly higher than in competitive supplying markets which shows, that the level of productivity is also comparably low.

Besides a low productivity Ethiopian garment manufacturers likewise show relatively large production capacities but a capacity utilization of average approx. 20-30 % only.
This was a result of lack in experience of the factory owners / investors regarding setup of garment production facilities and efficient production planning in general.
The availability of production capacities in Ethiopia might be a future advantage but currently responsible for relatively high maintenance and depreciation costs.
QUALITY STANDARD
Regarding the quality standard of the products in Ethiopia
the quality of materials (yarns and fabrics) as well as
the quality of workmanship has to be taken into consideration
The cotton yarn produced in Ethiopia meets only partly international quality standards and customer requirements because of medium or short staple of raw cotton that is used.
In addition to that the finishing of cotton yarn is not yet up to international requirements because of lack of know-how regarding dyeing, softening and other chemical treatments.
In case of imported yarns and fabrics material quality meets the export market requirements because purchase is usually made in major supplying markets such as China, India or in co-operation with buyer recommendation of yarn and fabric suppliers.
QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP
The quality of workmanship strongly depends on technical equipment and qualification of machine operators there are many garment factories with excellent machinery, lack of qualification and efficiency of operators and line inspectors / production management lead to quality problems and in many cases to an extremely low productivity. One of the reasons for this is the very recent setup of many Ethiopian factories and the fact that most of the factory owners / general managers do not have their origin in textile and garment business. (low garment business experience)
LABOR COST
Garment production cost in different countries
One of the competitive advantages of the garment industry in Ethiopia is relatively low production costs due to a
comparably low level of salaries for machine operators.
This advantage is partly compensated by
low productivity and
poor production planning.
Basis: medium productivity level of approx. 60 % average number of machine operators 30

STATUS OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Collection or product development of international standards does not yet exist in Ethiopian garment industry
as most of the garment manufacturers were concentrating on setting-up the technical facilities and machinery park of their factories.
Some Ethiopian companies started to create own design ideas or basic product designs for the domestic market
but are not yet working in an efficient and appropriate manner suitable for prospective export markets.
This is mainly due to absence of fashion design school
Iotex has taken the lead in this direction
As an Iotexian we all should be proud of this historical beginning
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS (CASE STUDIES)
Corporate solution on behalf of ecbp has carried a performance analysis of 14 Ethiopian textile, garment and home textile manufacturers. The company analysis was focused on
• Main products and qualities
• Present type of co-operation with potential export customer
• Production performance
• Export marketing performance
• Management skills
• Financial basis of the company
Most of the analyzed companies showed potential for
basic or advanced subcontracting business for a co-operation with export customers (CM, CMT).
A ready-made collection is not yet offered by any of the analyzed companies.
ANALYSIS SUMMARY
Very good technical equipment,
very low production costs
very low productivity
Inadequate staff qualification (e.g. production and marketing)
Absence of export marketing to benefit from competitive advantages

Turkish company – Saygin and the region where the unit is located – Dima.
It is going to start three units on a plot of land that was approved by the Investment Board of Oromia Regional State.
The company plans to set up facilities for spinning, weaving, and dyeing of textile products. The Privatisation and Public Enterprises Supervising Agency (PPESA) owns 60 percent and 40 percent ownership is held by the Turkish company. MoTI is expecting to generate $50 million from the functioning of these units.
INDIAN INVESTMENT
SPINTEX INDIA
Spintex was established in India in 1972. It has been producing machinery for spinning, weaving and knitting.
The company will fully own the factory in Ethiopia.
Spintex, has received 50 hectare of land at the Kombolcha Industrial Zone in the Amhara Regional State. It will produce 100 Tons of yarn/day, which is five times the capacity of Ayka Addis.
it will export one billion USD worth of products a year in seven years time.
The arrival of Spintex is expected to be a major boon for the sector.
Spintex has also plans to cultivate cotton on 50,000 ha land
THE ITALIAN INTERVENTION ON TEXTILE AND GARMENT SECTOR
Programme Aid of Italy decided to assist the Ethiopian Ministry of Trade and Industry with the rehabilitation of seven textile and garment public industries already included in the list of public enterprises to be privatized with a budget of 9 million euros.
Currently, these textile and garment factories are either on their way to be or are already privatized.
Gulele Garment was bought by a local investor while
Adey Ababa and Ediget Yarn are under negotiations to be leased by Italian and local entrepreneurs with an option to buy.
Akaki Garment has garnered the interest of a Turkish investor.
The Privatizing Agency is evaluating the purchasing offers for Addis Garment.
The Kombolcha Textile and the Ethio-Japanese Synthetic Textiles are in the pipe line to begin the privatization process.
ETHIOPIAN GOVT. BANS COTTON EXPORTOCTOBER 23, 2010
The Ethiopian government has banned the export of raw cotton due to an increase in demand from local textile and garment manufacturers and a hike in the international price, sources at the Ministry of Trade (MoT) disclosed
According to Assefa Aga, general manager of Ethiopian Cotton Producers, Ginners, and Exporters Association (ECPGEA)
"The local demand for cotton this year is expected to be 57,000tn while supply is expected to be 51,000tn,“
"If there is no ban on exports, local textile producers will be forced to import cotton from other countries for a lot of foreign exchange."
The proposal for the ban on the export of raw cotton, was drafted by the Ethiopian Textile Industry Development Institute (ETIDI),
The reason for the ban, aside from the gap in supply and demand,
is the gap in the foreign exchange earned when raw cotton is exported as opposed to when value has been added to it.
According to Endalkachew Sime, secretary-general of ETGMA,"A kilogramme of raw cotton may be sold for a maximum of 2 dollars,"
" A kilogramme of garments that requires 1.2kg for its production can be sold for 15 dollars."
This is consistent with the draft Five-year Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP), which aims to increase export earnings and import substitution. At the end of the five years in 2015/16, revenues from the export of textiles are expected to reach 100 million Br, according to the GTP.
The MoTI aim to have annual revenue of
US $500 million by 2011 (2008/09 14.5 million USD)
for which the Government must bring nearly
191 enterprises that can make the capital investment of $1.6 billion.
GOVERNMENT’S AMBITIOUS AIMS
MOTI aims to install around
48 spinning units, 31 for grey textile production, 22 in knitted sector, 53 in woven, 31 in garments 6 for finished textiles.
Export earning USD 1 billion per year
