Join us for a dynamic conversation with well-known and respected economist Dr. Sheng Lu, Associate Professor of Fashion & Apparel Studies at the University of Delaware, as he discusses the challenges and opportunities facing brands and retailers sourcing apparel from the CAFTA-DR region. According to Dr. Lu, sourcing from the CAFTA-DR region has many benefits, such as speed to market, but challenges remain including the controversial yarn-forward rule of origin required by the region’s free trade agreement with the United States which limits the ability of many companies to fully utilize the region as a sourcing hub.

This week’s podcast is not to be missed. Hosted by Jennifer Crumpler, Fiber Development Manager and Manager of the e3 Sustainable Cotton Program from BASF, and interviewed by industry consultant Bob Antoshak.
