IMPORT ANALYSIS Square Textiles Ltd is a 100% export oriented Yarn manufacturing company. They mainly produce Yarn and export it to Fabrics manufacturing company and fabrics manufacturing company export it to garments industry through Back to back L/C and garments Garment industry export this fabrics against master L/C after certain process in this sance Square Textiles Ltd is Exporter of yarn. But in the commercial term these kinds of exporter are called deem exporter. As main job of Square Textiles Ltd is to manufacturing and exporting of Yarn so they need some raw materials and axillaries to manufacturing this product. Main raw materials of square Textiles Ltd are various types of raw cotton. As Square is a vertical integrated company. So they have forward and backward linkage facility e,i. they have fabrics manufacturing company and they have garments manufacturing company. Square Knit Fabrics Ltd get 100% L/C from their own garments Industry and Square Textiles ltd.

Get 60% L/C from their own company Square Knit Fabrics Ltd and another 40% get from other company. So that the buyers of Square Fashions & Others garments industry are the ultimate buyers of Square Textiles Ltd. Square Textiles Ltd mainly procure their raw cotton by 100% cash L/C. IMPORT Figure: 4

As the main raw martial of Square Textiles Ltd is raw cotton. so the procure their raw materials under two ways 1) 2) LOCAL IMPORT:

Local import Foreign Import

As Square Textiles Ltd. is a largest finest yarn manufacturing company of Bangladesh so they need various type of raw cotton. But we cannot produce high quality of raw cotton in our country so we 100% depended on imported cotton so that Square Textiles . Local import is nil.

FOREIGN IMPORT As we know that to produce high quality of yarn need high quality of raw cotton. High quality of raw cotton means which cotton exists length fiber is long and fibers are matured.

To produce high quality of raw cotton mainly needs favorable weather condition but we have not. So ultimately we depended fully imported raw cotton for our textiles mills. Square Textiles Ltd mainly procure central Asia’s cotton e,i. Uzbekistan’s, Turkmenistan’s, Kazakhstan’s, and Tajikistan’s raw cotton as per their buyers satisfaction. Though the price of central Asia’s raw cotton are higher than the others cotton. Square Textiles also procure raw cotton from Zimbabwe, Syria, USA, India, West African, Indonesia, and Thailand etc through cash L/C. COMPARISON TO OTHERS COMPANY WITH IMPORT POLICY: Square Textiles Ltd think, though customers like central Asia’s cotton at higher price and most of the spinning mills go for central Asia’s cotton as per their customers satisfactions.

But this trend is not continuing for long period. Because may central Asia’s companies think they will produce yarn in their own country or others company like square think they established a plant in central Asia’s country. Then central Asia’s cotton are not available then what will do the others company. Square Textiles Ltd always think different. For this reason to face this problem they use 60% to 50% CIS cotton and 40% to 50% others cotton which quality is same like CIS cotton to overcome future any problem. Square textiles do not follow others so allover the year they procure cotton for two or three month advance. So that over the year they can maintain average cotton price and they do not loss hues and they do not gain hues. But on the other hand others company they forward book all over the year so if the cotton price is higher then they gain hues and cotton price is down they losses hues.

EXPORT ANALYSIS DIRECT EXPORT Direct export of Square Textiles Ltd is so little because they import 100% raw cotton from abroad so their yarn price is higher than the others country LOCAL EXPORT As a deem exporter Square Textiles Ltd export their 60% yarn to their own sister concern Square Knit Fabrics Ltd and balanced yarn they export to the others textiles industry through back to back L/C. Square Knit Fabrics Ltd mainly export their 100% fabrics to their another sister concern Square Fashions Ltd which is a world class garments manufacturing company and others textiles industry export their fabrics to others garments company in our country.

Square Fashions ltd and others garments company have strong marketing tem they visit all over the world to market their product to world class buyer like Puma, Nike, Asda, Matalan.

Allmart, Mark & Spencer, Kitaro, Redfild, H&M, Ashcity, Mexx etc Square Fashions Ltd and others garments company Mainly collect L/C from those world class buyer and Square Fashions Ltd give L/C to Square Knit Fabrics Ltd and others garments company give L/C to another Fabrics manufacturing company to collect fabrics. As well as Square Knit Fabrics Ltd and others textiles mills give L/C to Square Textiles Ltd to collect yarn for producing fabrics. As Square Textiles is a deem exporter so the export their yarn to Square knit Fabrics and others textiles industry Square Knit Fabrics and others textiles company export their fabrics to Square Fashions and others garments industry and garment companies are direct exporter so in this scence Square Textiles Ltd is 100 % export oriented yarn manufacturing company. Square Textiles Ltd also sale a little portion of yarn in locally which is produce by wastage cotton. These types of yarn are “B” Grade and it is not meet the export quality.

COMPARISON TO OTHERS COMPANY WITH EXPORT POLICY Square’s policy is always different from the others companies policy. So Square Textiles follow some technique to increase their export. Like in production they use heterogeneous system to create a big lot e,i. As same quality of cotton they mix as bellow:

Uzbekistani’s Cotton 2 Bells US Cotton 1 Bell Syrians Cotton 2 Bells West African’s Cotton 3 Bells Indonesia’s Cotton 1 Bell ____________ Total 9 Bells And create a big lot 90 tons to 100 tons, so that big customers always prefer to use same lot of yarn to get better result in dyeing and there no shade variation for their big production.

Square Textiles always try to produce same quality of yarn allover the year for this reson buyers always prefer Square textile’s Yarn but others company follow general system Where they use Same cotton e’i. When they use Uzbek cotton then they use only Uzbek cotton. So that their yarn lot is always small e,i. 30 to 40 tons and allover the year they cannot maintain the same quality, so big buyer do not prefer their yarn for their hues production.

Square Textiles Ltd follows another technique e,i. they always try to meet customer’s shipment on due date but on the other hand others company always cannot do that. So Square Textile’s sales always in creasing.

LACKING OF POLICY Square Textiles Ltd always use Heterogeneous system e,i. They use mix cotton to produce yarn, so their production cost is less and others company use general system e,i. They use 100 % Uzbekistani’s cotton it is costly so their production cost always high. If in the market create a rumer that square textiles do not use 100% Uzbek cotton but their yarn rate is higher than the others it is bad for them and they can loose their big market.

HOW CAN OVERCOME THIS LACKING Square Textiles can avoid Heterogeneous system and they can increase their dependency on Central Asia’s cotton.

They can reduce their yarn price and convince customers that though square use heterogeneous system but their result is same like central Asia’s cotton.

They can also convince their customers to reduce dependency on CIS cotton to absorb any shock in future.
