LESOTHO must embrace new partnerships and approaches to reconstruct the textile industry and help it recover from Covid-19.
This is according to a new study conducted by the Private Sector Foundation of Lesotho (PSFL) on the impact of Covid-19 on the textile industry.
The study, which sampled 93 local tailoring businesses and five foreign firms in Maseru urban, found that the lack of customers for the textile and apparel industry was a major challenge for both local and foreign firms as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Amidst numerous difficulties involving COVID-19 which is directly harming both employers and employees across the country, the Vietnamese government is enacting timely measures to assist and protect them as much as possible.
