Mike Todaro, director of the American Apparel Producers' Network, is bullish on apparel manufacturing in the DR. In an interview with Hoy newspaper he highlights the country has a good communication network, seaports and airports, and that even though production costs are higher here than in many competing countries, these are compensated by other advantages. He sees the DR as a dynamic, quick and secure supplier. He said that buyers are looking for variety and fast delivery that producing in China cannot deliver.

He explained that many companies are relocating production to the Americas to take advantage of the closer distances.
