A problemática da actual situação da indústria têxtil Moçambicana 1974 -1999 estudo de caso: Texlom, sarl

Abstract

With the present work I intend to support an approach to the problematic of the current situation of the textile industry. The objective is to identify and analyse the problems that, throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, motivated the current crisis, as well as to contribute to a better knowledge of the history of the textile industry, so that one may know the antecedents that help to understand the current crisis. As it is generally known, a significant part of the textile industry, besides being technologically outdated and obsolete, is paralysed. The central idea is that the current stage of the national textile industry is due to the combination of different factors, situations and conjunctures which at different times progressively constituted real obstacles, impeding its normal operation: by way of illustration, from 1975 until the early 1990s, most Mozambican textile industries operated well below their installed capacities, which denounces the existence of problems. Texlom practically survived by managing problems and crises that eventually led to its paralysis. In this context, the expectation is that this approach will enable the promotion of knowledge and understanding of the existential problems in the crisis of the textile industries and that, in some way, it will serve as a contribution to the formulation of policies with a view to their revitalisation.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
