James Chuang, the Taiwanese Ambassador, while attending 19th International Trade Fair in Blantyre, said that, in order to improve on textile sector, country needs to grow organic cotton which has a high potential in the international market.
The Ambassodor agreed to the views of President Bingu wa Mutharika that organically produced cotton has no ill effects on the users' health. He also said that Taiwan as a trade partner will help in growing organic cotton on large scale.
Mutharika stressed that companies should utilize the local grown cotton in maximising textile manufacturing rather than exporting it.
Last month Malawi government had set a minimum price for cotton at K40 per kg, which is higher than the value of last year K30 per kg.
