In this case,
According to Mohammad Taiz, Chairman of the Moroccan Textile and Garment Industry Association (AMITH), Morocco's textile industry currently has an annual production value of about € 6 billion, of which about € 4 billion is exported to the European market and € 2 billion is sold in the local market. "We expect the local market to grow to € 4 billion over the next decade and in order to achieve the textile industry plan for the year 2025, we will sign an undertaking with the government to commit to tripling our exports over the next decade," he said.

Somitex is a textile company located in Kentitra. According to the company's general manager YoussefBessa introduction, the company's products are British company design, production in Morocco, sold to the British market. "At present, all of our raw materials are dependent on imports, which is the main difficulties facing the development of our company's current production capacity is 3 million per year, if we can solve the problem of raw materials, production can at least double to 6 million. He said.
Morocco's local textile and garment industry exporters of Chinese raw materials is also extremely welcome. According to data from the Moroccan Textiles and Apparel Industry Association (AMITH), Morocco's textiles are valued at two-thirds of the value of textiles exported to Europe and the United States each year, or € 4 billion. They hope the next decade, exports can be doubled. However, the Moroccan textile industry is short of raw materials and lacks the corresponding supply. A lot of products in Morocco can not produce locally, they must rely on imports, so China's textile fabrics and raw materials in the Moroccan market is very low.
