Textile Industry : One alternative to generate value

Emerging countries understand the need to compete in the world market , however is necessary to recognize the strengths and weaknesses.   

Export commodities represent the highest percentage of budget composition in many countries. Those resources sustain the incomes of a nation. The problem is those activities do not add value in their processes.

Previously , it is important to say that a country should establish what are their potential activities  and look for alternatives to improve the process and final product.

In this case I speak about Textile and Sewing Industry as a different way to generate value.
