Opportunities in this sector have been enhanced with Ghana’s receipt of its visa protocol under the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA).  Production and export of large-scale apparel and clothing especially Afro-centric clothing for niche markets in the United States and Europe look particularly attractive.  Other areas are export of hand-woven indigenous textiles and manufacturing of upscale designer wear for mainstream overseas markets. Ghana’s ‘Kente’ cloth is globally recognized and admired.  This sector is under the Presidential Special Initiative.

Opportunities currently exist in the following areas of Ghana’s apparel industry:

• Cotton production and processing
• Production of haberdashery, sewing accessories, and other raw materials;
• Cotton-based textile production;
• Large-scale apparel and clothing manufacturing;
• Production and export of Afro-centric clothing for niche markets in the US and Europe;
