...a brief look at developments Lesotho’s two biggest purchasers of garments are the United States of America and Canada. Small garment volumes also go to member states of the European Union, Dubai, Qatar, Chile, Japan and Taiwan.
The country’s firms are now beginning to sell small (but growing amounts) to South African retailers.
The country’s denim mill also exports denim fabric to Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, and Mauritius; while it sells significant volumes of ring spun yarn to South Africa’s knit fabric mills.
Lesotho garment firms specialise in the production of denim garments (mainly jeans, but some chinos & corduroys), and garments made from cotton knit fabrics (mainly t-shirts, polo shirts, tracksuits & fleece).
It is estimated that Lesotho’s 42 apparel firms each year make 90 million knitted garments, 26 million pairs of jeans, and a growing range of other woven garments.
Purchasers of Lesotho’s garments include well known Brands such as the GAP (about 30% of all Lesotho garment purchases are bought by the GAP), Reebok, Jones Apparel, Levis Strauss, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Sears, Gloria Vanderbilt, Ralph Lauren and others.
Manufacturing investment in Lesotho is promoted by the Lesotho National Development Corporation (LNDC). The country’s Exports have shifted from a traditional dependence on the Southern African Customs Union (SACU).
