2010, when buyers, mainly from the United States, decide to place
orders for spring-summer in the Northern Hemisphere and as soon as a
gradual recovery of global economy is noticed ..Although he said the trend of placing small orders will continue ..These
purchases would place pressure on profit margins of local exporters,
because they miss out on some economies of scale when producing smaller
batches; unit costs increase as well .
