                    [Summary] => 



Substituting imported yarns and fabrics with Philippine developed tropical fabrics would not only generate millions of jobs for Filipinos but can also save some millions of dollars in textile imports, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) said.


Based on a recent feasibility study by the Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) of the DOST, substituting imported textile yarns and fabrics with 25 percent Philippine tropical fabrics would save the nation $20.3 million, or an import reduction of over P1 billion annually.
