Merchandise exports in September fell by 6.6% to $26 billion. Exports during this fiscal have fallen 2.5% to $159.6 billion. The most worrying part is that labour-intensive exports, which create employment in large numbers, have been falling. Mint examines this decline.
Which sectors haven’t done well in exports?
Companies from various industries are taking responsibility for the waste they contribute to the environment.
Case in point: Diesel teamed up with Coca-Cola to launch a new collection made with recycled cotton and recycled plastic bottles.
The co-branded Diesel x Coca-Cola: The (Re)Collection offers men’s, women’s and unisex denim, sportswear and accessories made from the recycled fibers. The collection consists of 12 pieces, including a unisex denim jacket and jeans with workwear influences, and women’s high-waisted jean shorts with Coca-Cola red accent stitching.
On the stage of the first Denim Première Vision in London the whole new PG DENIM project will fully unveil its many novelties. Led by the visionary mind of Paolo Gnutti, a true R&D denim head and a real explorer of the many faces of indigo fabric, the company will showcase its brand new collection during the prestigious event, landing for the first time in the capital of the UK.
A project born out of the idea of creating new paths for denim, going beyond traditional borders while staying consistent with the authentic Italian tradition.
