The Sourcing Hypocrisy..............

摘要

All of us in the textile industry have come to realise that the global textile markets are now settled into and driven by a model that entails global sourcing on an absolute mass scale. From a customer's perspective this tends to be perceived as rational buying prices (though I refuse to endorse this, and believe that lower production and sourcing costs have no benefits whatsoever for the eventual customer) For the supplier, who invariably tends to be from a developing country, it means operating on wafer-thin margins. And fair enough! In a dog-eat-dog world, this model ensures the survival of the smartest, fittest and most resourceful.
