Ghana: The fight against product piracy
Ghana had a textile industry it could be proud of. 30,000 people earned their livelihood from it. But lately the market has been flooded with cheap copies, most of which are smuggled into the country from China. The genuine textiles can be distinguished from the fakes above all by the irregularity of their patterns. In Ghana, they're blocked out on the fabric with resin or wax. Each dye is then applied in a separate step. The cheap Chinese textiles, in contrast, are simple prints. The pattern remains the same over hundreds of meters. The Ghanaian government has now established a special unit to take action against the smuggling.
