Haiti - Economy : 20 Haitian businesses in Las Vegas 25/08/2011 18:39:31
Over 20 Haitian businesses [among other : DKDR Haiti, S.A. - Haiti Apparel Center - Indigo Mountian Haiti S.A. are showcasing garments from t-shirts to tuxedos at the "Sourcing in the Americas" Pavilion. Sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the "Made in Haiti" exhibit showcases the Plus One for Haiti program and the continued recovery and growth in the Haitian apparel industry. The Haitian companies are present along with other regional manufacturers in a series of events at the Pavilion designed to strengthen the textile and apparel supply chain in the Western Hemisphere. U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk launched the Plus One for Haiti program at last year's February 2010 Magic convention in the wake of the devastating earthquake. As part of U.S. efforts to aid in Haiti's economic recovery, this initiative encourages U.S. brands and retailers to work towards sourcing 1 percent of their total apparel purchases from Haiti. Apparel is a critical sector in Haiti's developing economy. Exports of apparel make up roughly 85 percent of Haiti's total exports to the U.S. In 2010, Haiti exported over $517 million in apparel goods to the U.S., and year to date 2011 exports have increased by 52 percent so far in 2011. Haiti's textile manufacturing industry employs over 30,000 workers.
