Peru in the High Quality Cotton Textile and Apparel Global Value Chain: Opportunities for Upgrading
Abstract
This report analyses Peru’s participation in the high quality cotton textile and apparel
global value chain. The textile and apparel sector is a key pillar of Peru’s manufacturing
sector, while the high quality cotton has been cultivated for centuries in the country.
The study uses the GVC framework to analyze Peruvian’s position and potential for
upgrading in the industry. This report is part of a Duke CGGC study commissioned by
the World Bank in 2015/16 to support the growth and productivity agenda in Peru with
a focus on three important industries for the country: table grapes, mining equipment
and pima cotton.
