Exports of the branch amounted to US$ 550 million, a 11% increase from the parallel period in 2003, however sales to the local market were NIS 2.6 billion, a 2% decrease. As a result, 400 new employees were recruited in the branch during the first half of 2004.

 

During 2003,  20 textile plants were closed, 900 employees were retrenched in the branch, and further diamissals are expected in the future.
