Textile and garment jobs at risk in Indonesia

02/09/2015
Indonesia’s slowing economic growth has led to lower demand for textile products in the domestic market, local reports have said.

Ade Sudrajat, chairman of Indonesia Textile Association (API), has said that some manufacturers still have two or three months’ worth of stocks that they have not been able to sell, making them reluctant to continue production now. Most of these companies are small-scale with 360 employees on average, he added.

He said more than 100 textile and garment makers are “on the edge of collapse” putting 36,000 jobs at risk.
