印度丝绸产品的出口额,以美元计算在1995—96年度下降了12.5％,在1996—97上半年又一次下降。在1994—95年度出口额曾达到92.70亿卢比的高峰,而1980—81年仅不过5.30亿卢比。政府的错误政策阻止了丝绸工业适应瞬息万变的全球市场的步伐,行业人士如是说。 印度丝绸协会也向政府提出抗议:中央丝绸局对出口产品装运前的强制检查应废弃,因 Exports of Indian silk products decreased by 12.5% ​​in US dollars in 1995-96, and declined again in the first half of 1996-97. In 1994-95, the export value reached a peak of 9.27 billion rupees, while in 1980-81 it was only 530 million rupees. The government’s erroneous policies have prevented the silk industry from adapting to the ever-changing global market, industry sources said. The Indian Silk Association also protested to the government that the Central Silk Authority’s mandatory inspection of export products prior to shipment should be abandoned.
