VIEWPOINT: Cotton price decline unlikely to help unit costs
2014-09-30 11:17:00| Daily apparel & textile news and comment - from just-style.com
With global cotton prices sitting at a five-year low, apparel firms should be benefitting from lower unit costs. That's the theory at least. The reality, however, is that any gains are unlikely to show up until the second half of next year - and more likely than not will be offset by rising labour and compliance costs.
