Textile body to oversee import of textiles in Ghana

A textile import management body has been constituted by the government to oversee all textiles imports into the country. The management body would oversee the vetting of the designs, management of quantities, etc. A textiles anti-piracy taskforce which has been constituted would undertake monitoring exercises on all markets to ensure due diligence is done.

The new import regime does not seek to ban imports. It only seeks to sanitise the textile industry to ensure that the Ghanaian industry is protected from fake imports. The town hall meeting was used to sensitise textile workers on the implementation of the Textile Industry Reforms Programme.

The minister outlined some policies to be implemented by his ministry to enhance the competitiveness of the local textiles industry. He introduced tax stamp for locally manufactured and genuinely imported textiles, designated entry corridor and revision of task force as some of the policies.
