Government has appointed a committee of permanent secretaries to revive the growth of the textile industry in Zambian which is dwindling; it once had 250 local textile factories but today only 20 remain, as their goods are priced out of the market by cheaper clothes and textiles imported from China.

Many workers lost their jobs when production costs soared and the company couldn't compete with imports from Asia that were beginning to flood the market. With the revival of textile industry, it will see over 4,000 jobs created this year.
