The moderator of the event welcomed all the participants and made a brief presentation of the Rules of Procedure of the BS in the Textile sector. After that, a free discussion on the issues of the BS members was started.
The topic of the free discussion revolved around the consequences of the pandemic caused by Covinid 19. In contrast to the negative repercussions that the pandemic has given in almost every sector of our country's economy, the textile industry has seen an increase in sales and demand for its products. During the pandemic, a large number of companies reoriented their production and started making protective clothing for a number of medical institutions at home and abroad. The high quality of the production was a prerequisite for the increase in orders and demand for finished products.
That's a big plus for the area's economy, per industry representatives signaling a lack of skilled labor and turnover in the sector. Many of the well-trained personnel are looking for livelihood abroad or in the larger towns of our country.
The project management team shared their experience in organising awareness raising campaigns to stimulate the interest of young people. The team undertook, together with local government representatives, to produce brochures to be distributed in educational institutions and youth clubs in the district.
