Study the given flow chart and answer the question that follows:

Explain the added value product in the textile industry on the bases of above flowchart.

Figure in the paper: Flow chart with boxes in sequence: Fibre Production → Spinning → Weaving knitting → Dyeing and Finishing → Garment Manufacturing (arrow from Garment Manufacturing back to Dyeing and Finishing). Downward branches: from Fibre Production to Raw Fibre; from Spinning to Yarns; from Weaving knitting to Fabric; from Dyeing and Finishing to Garments (which also receives from Garment Manufacturing). See it in the official paper.

Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Follow the flowchart from left to right.

Hint 2

Ask what each stage adds to the product.

Hint 3

Note which other industries the textile industry supports.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Fibre production: cotton is harvested and processed to remove seeds and impurities. The raw fibre obtained is the first stage of value addition.

    1 mark

  2. Spinning: raw fibre is spun into yarn, which makes it usable for weaving or knitting.

    1 mark

  3. Weaving or knitting: yarn is made into fabric, a more functional form suitable for further processing.

    1 mark

  4. Dyeing and finishing: the fabric is dyed, printed and finished, which improves its appearance, durability and texture and raises its market value.

    1 mark

  5. Garment manufacturing: fabric is cut and stitched into shirts, dresses or jeans ready for consumers. The industry also supports other industries such as chemicals and dyes.

    1 mark

Answer: Value rises at each stage: raw fibre, then yarn, fabric, dyed and finished fabric, and finally garments.

Where the marks are

  • Fibre production gives raw fibre (1 mark)
  • Spinning into yarn (1 mark)
  • Weaving or knitting into fabric (1 mark)
  • Dyeing and finishing raise value (1 mark)
  • Garment making and linkage with other industries (1 mark)
