Carraparel feuds with BITC, threatens to relocate

Carraparel, which  is the only local textile and clothing company that has been exporting to the US under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), is also complaining of other factors that it says have made doing business in Botswana difficult.

Due to the challenges it says it is facing, the company indicated that it might relocate to the mountain kingdom, which has to an extent been one of the largest beneficiaries of AGOA with around 80% of their textile and garment exports going to the US.
