Masmoudi pointed out that several textile companies, based in Monastir will attend the Handmade in Japan Festival FES to be held in Tokyo next July 22-23. The Japanese market, seen as a difficult market to access, represents a promising market for Tunisian products, he added.

According to the local handicrafts delegate in Monastir, Tunisian textile and handicrafts are exported to distant markets, such as New Zealand, Australia and Japan, in addition to markets in North America and from Europe.

Monastir has more than 4,000 artisans in the handcrafted textile industry, Masmoudi underlined.
