Kenyan govt begins modernisation of Rivatex factory

In a bid to improve the production of textile products and attract the global export market, Kenyan government has begun modernisation of Eldoret-based Rivatex textile factory. The government has set target of producing 1 billion textile items per annum at Rivatex. This will be done by employing modern techniques and machineries at the factory.

The increase in production of clothing items will be beneficial for local and export markets, said Industry and Enterprise Development principal secretary Julius Korir, during his recent visit to Rivatex. It will also suffice the demands of the Export Processing Zone factories, he added.

Rivatex is a textile manufacturing company wholly owned by the Moi University for commercial and research purposes. Earlier this year, the company received a Sh3 billion loan from the government of India through the Exim Bank to buy a modern textile machine for the factory, which was essential for its revival.

Besides Rivatex, Korir also emphasised on restoring the Kicomi textile sector at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University.

肯尼亚政府开始使Rivatex工厂现代化

为了提高纺织品产量并吸引全球出口市场,肯尼亚政府已开始现代化埃尔多雷特的Rivatex纺织工厂。政府已经为Rivatex设定了每年生产10亿纺织品的目标。这将通过工厂采用现代技术和机械来实现。

服装产量的增加将有利于当地和出口市场,行业和企业发展秘书Julius Korir在他最近访问Rivatex期间说道。这也可以满足出口加工区工厂的的要求,他补充说。

Rivatex是一个由Moi大学以商业和研究为目的的纺织制造公司。今年早前,该公司收到了来自印度政府通过进出口银行3亿卢比的贷款，来为工厂购买现代的纺织机器,这对其复兴来说至关重要。

除了Rivatex,Korir还强调重建Jaramogi Oginga Odinga 大学的Kicomi纺织业。
