By Anvar Mammadov – Trend:

Azerbaijani Textile Producers and Exporters Association intends to conduct the large-scale work on the promotion of local brands, Mehriban Akhundova, chairperson of the association, told Trend Sept. 26.

She added that consumers will be able to see the advantages of local products in comparison with foreign ones.

"At present, cheap clothes and bed linen imported to Azerbaijan from China are mainly produced from synthetic fabrics, which is harmful to the human body, whereas our goods are produced from 100 percent cotton yarn and fabric," she said.

"We will continue to promote local textile products in the future," Akhundova said.

The Azerbaijani Textile Producers and Exporters Association was established in July 2017 on the initiative of entrepreneurs operating in the textile industry.

According to the Azerbaijani State Customs Committee, 10,900 tons of cotton fiber were produced in Azerbaijan in January-August 2017, which is by 26.8 percent more than in the same period of 2016.

During the reporting period, 10.34 million square meters of cotton fabric, 262,400 sets of bed linen, as well as other textile products were produced in the country during the reporting period.
