The garment exporting units in Tiruppur will down shutters for two days - January 17 and 18 - to protest against the high cotton and yarn prices.
Raja M. Shanmugham, president of Tiruppur Exporters’ Association, told presspersons in Tiruppur on Wednesday that in the last one year, cotton yarn prices have shot up 80 %. The yarn prices were increased by ₹30 a kg this week. “It is not just the high prices but the uncertainty that is affecting the exporters as they cannot negotiate higher prices for orders already booked and are under execution,” he said.
