Snippet:
What can one do with 220,000 tonnes of textiles? A savvy clothes manufacturer could make it stretch to more than a billion T-shirts. A factory that makes jeans could use it to produce anywhere between 220 million to 440 million pairs, depending on weight. A tailor in the UAE could fashion about 220 million to 370 million kanduras or 150 million to 440 million abayas.
