ITurkey, umthengisi weempahla wesithathu ngobukhulu eYurophu, ijongene neendleko eziphezulu zemveliso kunye nemingcipheko ewela emva kakhulu kwiintshatsheli zaseAsia emva kokuba urhulumente enyuse irhafu kwiimpahla zelaphu ezithunyelwa kwamanye amazwe kuquka nezinto eziluhlaza.

Abachaphazelekayo kushishino lweempahla bathi irhafu entsha iyawucinezela lo shishino, olungomnye wabaqeshi abakhulu eTurkey kwaye luthengisa iimveliso ezinkulu zaseYurophu ezifana neH&M, Mango, Adidas, Puma kunye ne-Inditex. Balumkisile ngokugxothwa emsebenzini eTurkey njengoko iindleko zokungenisa impahla zinyuka kwaye abavelisi baseTurkey belahlekelwa yinxalenye yemarike ngenxa yabakhuphisana nabo abafana neBangladesh neVietnam.

Ngobuchwephesha, abathumeli ngaphandle bangafaka izicelo zokuxolelwa kwirhafu, kodwa abantu abangaphakathi kushishino bathi le nkqubo ibiza kakhulu kwaye ithatha ixesha kwaye ayisebenzi ngokwesiqhelo kwiinkampani ezininzi. Kwanangaphambi kokuba kubekwe irhafu entsha, eli shishini lalisele lijongene nokunyuka kwamaxabiso, libuthathaka imfuno kunye nokuhla kwenzuzo njengoko abathumeli ngaphandle bebona i-lira njengexabiso eligqithisileyo, kunye nemiphumo yovavanyo lweminyaka emininzi lweTurkey lokunciphisa amazinga enzala phakathi kokunyuka kwamaxabiso.

Abathengisi baseTurkey bathi iimpawu zefashoni zinokumelana nokunyuka kwamaxabiso ukuya kuthi ga kwi-20 ekhulwini, kodwa naliphi na ixabiso eliphezulu liya kubangela ilahleko kwimarike.

Omnye umenzi weempahla zabasetyhini kwiimarike zaseYurophu nase-US uthe le rhafu intsha iza kunyusa ixabiso le-T-shirt ye-$10 kungabi ngaphezu kweesenti ezingama-50. Akalindelanga ukulahlekelwa ngabathengi, kodwa uthe olu tshintsho luqinisa imfuneko yokuba ishishini leempahla laseTurkey litshintshe ukusuka kwimveliso enkulu ukuya ekongezeni ixabiso. Kodwa ukuba abathengisi baseTurkey bagxininisa ekukhuphisaneni neBangladesh okanye iVietnam ngee-T-shirt ze-$3, baya kulahlekelwa.

ITurkey ithumele ngaphandle i-$10.4 yeebhiliyoni zeempahla zelaphu kunye ne-$21.2 yeebhiliyoni zeempahla zelaphu kunyaka ophelileyo, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe ngumthengisi wesihlanu nowesithandathu ngobukhulu emhlabeni. Ngumthengisi wesibini ngobukhulu weempahla zelaphu kunye nomthengisi wesithathu ngobukhulu kwiinkampani ezikufutshane ze-EU, ngokutsho kwe-European Clothing and Textile Federation (Euratex).

Isabelo sayo kwimarike yaseYurophu sehle saya kwi-12.7% kunyaka ophelileyo ukusuka kwi-13.8% ngo-2021. Ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe kwempahla zelaphu kunye neempahla kwehle ngaphezulu kwe-8% ukuya kutsho ngo-Okthobha kulo nyaka, ngelixa ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe ngokubanzi bekungaguquki, idatha yeshishini ibonisile.

Inani labasebenzi ababhalisiweyo kwishishini lempahla yelaphu lehle nge-15% ukusukela ngo-Agasti. Ukusetyenziswa kwamandla ayo bekuyi-71% kwinyanga ephelileyo, xa kuthelekiswa ne-77% kwicandelo lemveliso liphela, kwaye amagosa oshishino athi uninzi lwabenzi beentambo basebenza phantse kwi-50%.

I-lira ilahlekelwe yi-35% yexabiso layo kulo nyaka kunye ne-80% kwiminyaka emihlanu. Kodwa abathengisi bamazwe angaphandle bathi i-lira kufuneka yehle ngakumbi ukuze ibonakalise ngcono ukunyuka kwamaxabiso, okwangoku okungaphezulu kwe-61% kwaye kufike kwi-85% kunyaka ophelileyo.

Amagosa oshishino athi imisebenzi eyi-170,000 incitshisiwe kwishishini lempahla yelaphu ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kulo nyaka. Kulindeleke ukuba ifikelele kwi-200,000 ekupheleni konyaka njengoko ukuqiniswa kwemali kupholisa uqoqosho olushushu kakhulu.
