Sri Lankan govt plans garment units in resettled villages

The Government of Sri Lanka has planned to establish new garment factories in resettled villages in the Northern part of the country, with an aim to provide employment opportunities for the youth, the official government website reported.
In Sri Lanka, resettled villages are those where internally displaced people during the war and refugees have settled after the end of the war with the LTTE.
Initially, five garment factories will be set up in 75 acres of land selected and allocated in Vavuniya, Mullaitivu, and Mannar districts in Sri Lanka. The garment factories will be built as a joint collaboration of Sri Lanka Textile and Garment Institute, Sri Lanka Garment Exporters Association, and Trade and Industrial Ministry.
A survey conducted by the Sri Lanka Institute of Textile and Apparel and Sri Lanka Chamber of Garment Exporters, in collaboration with the Welioya Divisional Secretariat, has revealed that there are more than 2500 workers in the areas bordering Vavuniya, Anuradhapura and Trincomalee districts, who want to work in garment industries and around 500 of them have already acquired the necessary skills by working at garment industries in other areas.
It has been observed that construction of garment factories in these areas will uplift the living standards of the people. The Government has taken steps to provide all facilities to improve the apparel industry while providing enough incentives to the investors.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet has approved the proposal by the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Sri Lanka, Rishad Bathiudeen, to establish 5 projects to promote the garment industry.

In January-July 2014, Sri Lanka’s textile and garments exports fetched $2.826 billion, as against exports of $2.372 billion made during the corresponding period of last year. Meanwhile, imports of textiles and textile articles increased to $1.254 billion during the seven-month period, compared to imports worth $1. 160 billion made during the same period last year.

斯里兰卡政府计划在安置村庄建立服装厂

政府官方网站报道，斯里兰卡政府计划在该国北部的安置村庄建立新的服装厂,旨在为年轻人提供就业机会。

在斯里兰卡,安置村庄主要安置那些在战争期间流离失所的人们以及泰米尔猛虎组织战争结束后的难民。

最初,五个服装厂将被设立在75英亩的土地上，分别分配在斯里兰卡的瓦武尼亚、穆莱蒂武和马纳尔湾地区。服装工厂的建立将由斯里兰卡纺织服装学院，斯里兰卡服装出口商协会和工商部共同合作进行。

由斯里兰卡纺织服装学院、斯里兰卡服装出口商协会与Welioya秘书处合作所做的一项调查显示,在瓦武尼亚、阿努拉德普勒和亭可马里接壤的地区有超过2500名工人,他们想在服装行业工作,而他们中的约500人已经获得了在服装行业工作的必要技能。

这些地区服装厂的建立将提升人民的生活水平。政府已经采取措施提供所有设施来改善服装行业,同时为投资者提供足够的激励。

与此同时，内阁已批准了斯里兰卡工商部长利沙德·巴蒂尤丁的提议，他要求建立5个项目来促进服装业的发展。

与去年同期23.72亿美元的出口额相比，2014年1月-7月，斯里兰卡纺织品和服装出口额为28.26亿美元。与此同时,此7个月期间，纺织品和纺织项目的进口额增加到12.54亿美元，而去年同期仅为11.6亿美元。
