Textile and craft sector continues to be skill-based and labour intensive from pre-farm, on-farm and post harvest management. The sector is affected by lack of skilled labour, time-intensive activities, immense drudgery and unreliable power inhibiting uptake of end-user friendly innovations. Small-scale textile and crafts practitioners lack support and innovations to ease and assist them in their skilled practices.
Solutions and innovations demonstrated by SELCO Foundation range from the start to the end of the value chain aiming to reduce drudgery, increasing productivity and incomes of skilled artisans and workers in the small and micro parts of the textile industry.
