Further, it is proved that garments made from viscose blended with polyester are more durable and can be easily maintained since they require little ironing and are easier to wash. Besides, the fabric is just as comfortable as cotton.
However, due to duties imposed on import of man-made fibre and the consequent increase in the cost of production, manufacturers are reducing the ratio of polyester that ultimately deteriorates the quality of the garment.
It becomes virtually impossible for middle class consumers to buy garments having a high percentage of viscose. The Government must therefore withdraw import duties on man-made fibres to meet the demands of the domestic consumers.
