In his keynote address, Director of Industrial Development in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Dayford Nhema, highlighted ongoing governmental efforts to revise the Zimbabwe Cotton to Clothing Strategy inorder to curb the influx of second-hand clothing in the country.
“The Ministry of Industry and Commerce is currently working on the review of the Zimbabwe Cotton to Clothing Strategy (2014-2019). This strategy will be successor to the Cotton to Clothing Strategy (2014-2019) and is aligned to the Vision 2030, the National Development Strategy 1, the draft Zimbabwe National Industrial Development Policy (ZNIDP 2024-2030) and the Local Content Strategy,” said Nhema.
“The aim of the draft Zimbabwe Cotton to Clothing Strategy is to address the constraints that continue to hinder the development of the value chain while re-aligning its objectives with the realities that presently exist on the ground,” added Nhema.
This year’s Edgars Fashion Extravaganza campaign centers around the theme of “Exclusivity, Fashionability, and Quality.” With a rich history spanning almost eight decades, Edgars currently boasts an impressive network of 25 stores nationwide.
