In the first first eight months of 2005, Thai textile and garment exports to the US reached $2.27 billion, up just 3.54 percent year-on-year.
In order to expand access to the US market and boost textile exports by 20-25 percent per year, a strategic plan 'Thai-US borderless' has been conceived.
Under the initiative titled - Textile and Garment Development Efficiency and Technology Project (T-DET), the Textile and Garment Industry Association will join forces to work out strategic solutions to be proposed to the Commerce Ministry next month.
This was informed by Kartchai Jamkajornkeiat, chief of public relations of T-DET, who added under the initiative partnerships with American importers would be developed, and improvements in logistics systems.
Further, a regional supply development plan seeks to create a single market hub under the 'Asean One' concept.
