| 12 | Major problems/prospects | Most of the SME s have old technology. Very few SME s are having advanced weaving technology based looms. As most of the units are involved in job work only. So,they do not know have any knowledge about markets and hence have no product identity. Though the labor is available in abundance yet it is not regular. The working culture is not of high standard and this puts the processors in problems as it ultimately leads to inferior quality fabric. No variation in product mix High electricity charges Improper awareness of export markets. Lack of up gradation and modernization of looms. Mostly they are purchasing old looms. Outdated systems and technique of processing Very less awareness about Quality Lack of proper machine maintenance |
