| description |
In October 2008 the United States
Congress enacted legislation that gave the Republic of Haiti
expanded, flexible access to the U.S. market for its apparel
exports. The Second Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity through
Partnership Encouragement act of 2008 (HOPE II, updated from
the original legislation passed in 2006) was welcomed for
its potential to revitalize a decaying industry, attract new
foreign investment, expand formal sector employment, and
jumpstart growth and opportunity for Haiti's people.
The purpose of the analysis of Haiti's apparel
value-chain in this report is to provide a comprehensive
view of the advantages and challenges of manufacturing in
Haiti relative to manufacturing in the Caribbean and Central
America and elsewhere. It situates Haiti's attributes
and suggests priorities for improving its competitiveness
relative to that of other suppliers. An apparel buyer in the
United States today juggles an impressive list of potential
suppliers from China and elsewhere in Asia and from Latin
America and beyond. Each country offers a unique combination
of workforce skills, business environment, costs,
'full-package' services, proximity to raw material
or to end markets, preferential access to the U.S. market,
and thus competitiveness. This report helps readers to see
how Haiti fits into this ever-changing global apparel market kaleidoscope. |
