How One Origin Label Rewrote Global Textile Trade
from Global Trade with Fexingo: WTO, Free Trade Agreements, and International Commerce · host Fexingo
Lucas and Luna explore how the 'Made in X' rule for textiles — specifically the fabric-forward rule for determining a garment's country of origin — reshaped global apparel supply chains. They trace a single cotton shirt through the knotty origin-label rules that force brands to reimagine sourcing, and examine how a 2025 EU regulation is pressuring Bangladesh, Vietnam, and sub-Saharan African producers. Specific numbers: 40 percent of global textile trade affected, $350 billion in annual garment exports tied to origin-label compliance. #TextileTrade #OriginLabel #MadeIn #WTO #ApparelSupplyChain #Bangladesh #Vietnam #EUTextileRegulation #CottonShirt #RuleOfOrigin #GlobalTrade #FabricForward #GarmentIndustry #TradeCompliance #FexingoBusiness #Economics #BusinessPodcast #SupplyChain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
