U.S. apparel and textile imports from Central<br />
America have jumped 17 percent over the<br />
last year.<br />
For some time now, the region has been a<br />
major apparel producer for the United States.<br />
But production has improved in recent years after<br />
the Dominican Republic–Central American<br />
Free Trade Agreement went into effect in 2006.<br />
The biggest gains have been from El Salvador,<br />
whose apparel and textile exports to<br />
the United States were up nearly 27 percent to<br />
$1.8 billion for the period ending in May this<br />
year, according to the U.S. Office of Textiles<br />
and <strong>Apparel</strong>. About $1.2 billion of that was<br />
cotton apparel.<br />
Another major winner in apparel growth<br />
was Honduras, which is still Central America’s<br />
powerhouse when it comes to garment manufacturing.<br />
Honduras exported $2.57 billion<br />
in clothing and textiles to the United States,<br />
which was a 20 percent improvement from the<br />
same period a year ago.<br />
Guatemala, whose apparel and textile production<br />
is the third largest in the region, saw<br />
only a 6.5 percent uptick in exports, which totaled<br />
$1.2 billion. The majority of Guatemala’s<br />

apparel exports are T-shirts destined for retailers<br />
such as Kohl’s, Target and Walmart.<br />
The Dominican Republic, which used to be<br />
the place w<strong>here</strong> almost all Dockers pants were<br />
made by Levi Strauss & Co., had healthy<br />
gains of 8.5 percent for apparel exports, which<br />
totaled $653 million.<br />
The only country that saw a dip in exports<br />
to the United States was Costa Rica.<br />
Its exports dropped 15 percent to $168 million.<br />
Cotton-socks exports plummeted 83<br />
percent to $6.4 million while cotton-underwear<br />
exports inched up nearly 14 percent to<br />
$95 million.—Deborah Belgum<br />
