Apparel exporters express concern over hike in cotton, yarn prices

·The Hindu·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

Apparel exporters are expressing concern over the recent hike in cotton and yarn prices. This increase in raw material costs is expected to negatively impact their profit margins and competitiveness in the global market. The higher prices may also lead to a rise in the cost of finished goods, making them less attractive to consumers. As a result, the exporters may struggle to maintain their market share and potentially face reduced sales.
