The prospects of the local knitting industry

Abstract

For the sake of clarification and in order to avoid unnecessary ambiguity, there are a couple of points that must be taken into consideration prior to the actual presentation of the dissertation. When one talks of the knitting industry one refers to those firms that produce knitted outerwear and knitted underwear. Unfortunately statistical data the Knitting Industry is very limited. Most of the statistical data put forward in this dissertation can be found in the Censuses of Production - Industry No. 230? Manufacture of Textiles and in the Trade Statistics Industry No 841. Finally I would like to thank the Malta Development Corporation, The Federation of Malta Industries, Chamber of Commerce various government officials, and the managers of various firms in the Knitting Industry for helping me in my work.
