1. Introduction

College of Engineering and Technology Department of Textile Engineering

Ethiopia has a good climate condition and 2,575,810-hectare potential land is available for the cultivation of cotton. Adding value to cotton products and other textile materials is the way in which the textile manufacturing industries contribute to state and national economies. While 98 percent of agricultural production in developed countries undergoes industrial processing, only about 30 percent is processed in developing countries. There is an alarming gap between least developed and industrialized countries concerning the percentage of value addition through the industrial processes. Textiles sub-sectors of Ethiopian industry are at the forefront of agriculture-led industrialization and export-oriented strategies of the Government, which appears to be a better way of entering the value chain system. As a consequence to the change of industrialization, the textile technology system demands developing a professional profile that has to satisfy the need for modern industrialization. The link between traditional handicraft manufacturing and engineering capability and professional fields has to be built up. The installed capacity of the textile industry is very low for the size and population of Ethiopia. However, the utilization of even this installed capacity is rather very low as confirmed by various studies conducted in this regard. The studies also point out that the productivity and quality of the products are judged to be below average to poor with the result that the factories incur heavy financial losses year after year. On the other hand, Textile field offers attractive options for the industrialization of Ethiopia such as huge job generation potential, high foreign exchange earning potential, rapid industrialization of the country with various spin-off benefits across the spectrum at moderate investments. Again, most of the developed and developing countries take the route of textiles for the industrialization of their countries. And also, there is a very critical and urgent need for the massive expansion of the industry in our country. Based on MoTI (2007) projection, 250 new textile and apparel industries will be established up to 2020 which can make job opportunities for 125,000 employees.
