LESOTHO’S TEXTILES & APPAREL SECTOR IS READY FOR ITS NEXT CHAPTER.

For decades, textiles and apparel have been a backbone of Lesotho’s manufacturing economy. The sector has created jobs, generated exports and connected the country to global markets.

But the opportunity ahead is bigger. The Lesotho Textiles and Apparel Sector Strategy sets out a seven-year roadmap to move beyond basic assembly towards higher-value production, stronger value-chain integration, diversified markets and greater resilience. It is about building on what Lesotho has already established and creating more value from it.
The journey begins on 7 October 2026
