To sell fabrics to Kenyan companies, Indian textile companies presented their bids to potential Kenyan apparel makers during the Reverse Buyer Seller Meet (RBSM) Wool and Woolen show in New Delhi.

As per Textile Focus, Kenyan fashion designers and sourcing agents interacted with India’s wool and woolen products manufacturers and exporters during the three-day exhibition, held from March 25 to 27. Rialto Enterprises, Occasions and Days, Sao Satorial, and Combiat Agencies were some of the Kenyan fashion companies and importers who attended the event. Of these, Occasions and Days plans to collaborate with the Indian textile and apparel industry to provide a continuous supply of high-quality materials to Kenya’s textile industry, says Monica Kanari, CEO.

Kenya has been encouraging people to buy locally made clothing in order to create jobs and reduce the amount of foreign currency spent on secondhand clothing each year. Jump-starting the leather, textiles, and agro-processing sub-sectors were considered critical in achieving early gains in the government’s “Big Four” agenda’s manufacturing pillar.
