Sri Lanka’s apparel industry has shown continuous growth over the years, Joint Apparel Association Forum, General Secretary Tuly Cooray told Sunday Observer Business.
An export centric agenda and a favourable policy framework will pave the way for the apparel industry to maintain the growth momentum while retaining the number one slot in export revenue generation, he said.
