乌干达纺企呼吁政府出台纺织政策

Ugandan textile firm calls for national textile policy
An Ugandan textile manufacturer is pushing for the implementation of a national textile policy in order to compel government institutions to buy textiles from local companies, NewVision reported.
Vinay Kumar, the general manager for Nyanza Textile Industries Limited (Nytil), said that once implemented, the policy would enable textile companies’ access to concessional financing for investment.
Although the Government of Uganda has announced the five year national textile policy, it has not yet been implemented, he told the Parliamentary committee on education and sports who were touring the company’s factory. No new investment is coming on board despite Uganda’s comparative advantage premised on availability of medium staple cotton, he said. According to him, several textile companies in Uganda are idle despite abundant cotton grown in Eastern Uganda, Lira and Acholi sub-regions.
Williams Okello, the logistics manager at Nytil said the company has asked the Government of Uganda to establish a comprehensive Universal Primary Education and Universal Secondary Education uniform supply chain to enhance the consumption of locally-grown cotton lint so that cotton farmers get better gate prices.

乌干达纺企呼吁政府出台纺织政策
据乌干达《新观察报》报道，乌干达纺织品制造商为使政府机构从当地公司购买纺织品，呼吁政府出台相关纺织政策。
乌干达尼亚萨湖纺织工业有限公司（Nytil）总经理Vinay Kumar说，一旦政策出台， 将为纺织企业提供优惠的融资渠道。
乌干达制造商协会的执行董事SsebagalaKigozi表示，政府部门像军队、监狱、公安局等应该从当地购买及使用制服及袜类产品等，因为相比进口产品来说，乌干达本地的产品质量更好，并且这将加强政府部门对本地纺织品的青睐，并以此促进当地制造业的发展。
Nytil物流经理Okello Nytil表示，该公司已要求乌干达政府全面普及初等和中等教育，同时提高本地消费棉绒的能力，使得棉农获得更好的价格。
