Abstract

Since its inception, Jordan's garment industry has been wholly dependent upon fragile trade networks tying local producers to markets halfway across the globe. On one end, the industry is structurally dependent on importing the materials needed to produce garments, including fabric, accessories and machinery. These inputs are mainly sourced from China but also come from India, Pakistan and Taiwan. On the other end, the sector is completely dependent on the United States as an export market, where a few powerful US clothing brands are its core buyers.
