TEX EXPO
SyriaN Exhibition of Textile Machinery
First Syria International Exhibition of Textile Machinery, Tex Expo
2004 was held in Damascus from 9th to 13th June 2004.
Tex Expo was the first international exhibition of its kind in Syria.
It brought together hundreds of companies in textile machinery sector
from Syria and all over the world in order to explore a new promising
market.
Syrian industry breaks down into four main sectors that include textiles,
food processing, chemicals (including pharmaceuticals) and domestic
appliances. In 2000, the service industry contributed 41.1% to GDP,
with manufacturing and agriculture contributing 29.2% and 26.1%, respectively.
Cotton- largest cash crop
The textile industry in Syria represents one of the most important
sectors in the country. Tex Expo is providing textile machinery manufacturers
with a unique tool to explore this important and potential market.
The potential for cotton - Syria's largest cash crop - in the textile
sector is considerable, as the cotton industry is responsible for
linking 15% of the work force either directly or indirectly to production.
This is significant since about 60% of Syria's cotton crop is exported
primarily to Western European countries.
Garment production
Syrian garment production is diversified with textiles and clothing
making up a major share of exports. In fact, several Syrian firms
have recently signed co-operation agreements with European companies
to adopt European fashion and technology standards.
Syria's new economy must be based on foreign investment, which the
Syrian government, as well as international exhibitions such as Tex
Expo, are promoting by developing business co-operation between Syria
and regional and international markets.
The future of economic reform in Syria depends on a number of factors
that include adopting modern management techniques, current technology,
a successful IT structure, as well as global trade connections.
