For any given country, the textile and apparel sectors are considered one of the most important due to its positive impact in the economy and job creation alongside the value chain. In Peru, the sector is internationally renowned due to its high-quality raw materials, i.e., Pima cotton, the craftmanship of its workforce, and vertically integrated companies. Peru’s cotton t-shirts top export destinations include the United States, Brazil, and Canada, respectively. Given the importance of the Canadian market, the existence of the Peru-Canada Free Trade Agreement, and the benefit of zero import tariffs, it is relevant to identify the factors that could improve the Peruvian exports of cotton t-shirts to Canada. The study focuses on four factors that could potentially impact the competitiveness of the sector: Peruvian cotton fiber production, Peru´s legal framework, workforce costs impact in the production cost, and the lack of investment in innovative technology. The study concludes that the above-mentioned factors do have an impact and limit the competitiveness of the Peruvian exporters of cotton t-shirts to the Canadian market. Furthermore, it unveils new factors such as production speed to respond to shorter lead times and the implementation of sustainable practices across the value chain to meet consumers´ preferences, among others.
