Japan Textile Federation
Japan Textile Federation (JTF) was established in 1970 in the wake of the need for the Japanese textile industry as a whole to respond to the growing demand from the United States that required the control of the imported wool, chemical fiber, and synthetic fiber products, in addition to cotton products, and JTF marks the 50th anniversary of its foundation in 2020.
With taking “creation and reliability” as its basic guideline, JTF has conducted various activities in recent years with focus on transaction optimization, securing human resources and environmental and safety issues, trade issues and information transmission projects including collection of diverse information, making a request to the government on policy making, exchanges with overseas textile industry organizations and others.
We firmly believe that our activities this year should steadily be carried out for realization of our existing activity themes and the “recommendations for how the Japanese textile industry should be in 2030” that was published in 2020 to depict a “desirable shape” of the Japanese textile industry in 2030.
Following those mentioned above, our Action Policy for Fiscal 2024 incorporates the eight subjects with focus on the “Response to Sustainability” and “Small Business Support” as shown below:
1. Securing Human Resources
2. Response to Circular Economy
3. Transaction Optimization
4. Response to Digital Revolution
5. Support for Overseas Business Expansion
6. Active Approaches to Cope with Trade Issues
7. Strengthening of Information Transmission Capability and Brand Power
8. Response to Taxation IssuesThe respective member organizations of JTF will enhance their “aggressive” activities to make a new leap forward, in addition to creation of an environment for putting the efforts into enhancement of their competitiveness in overseas markets and strengthening their own “defense,” while improving their corporate health in accordance with the concept of “creation and reliability.”
