Opportunities do exist for the industry in Ghana. These include unexplored niches in the global market like original woven Kente, diaspora market potentials; proximity to global apparel markets; and the existence of bilateral and regional trade agreements, according to a newspaper report in the country. Currently, the industry employs more than 6,000 Ghanaians and exports more than $30 million on an average annually. Export revenues from the sector in 2020, according to GEPA, stood at $43 million compared to the $137.4 billion worth of apparel and accessories that China alone exported last year
