AIN OF THE PBOJICf The aim of the project is to sake a general study of the Brazilian textile industry, its current and prospective structure and its potential for improvement and development, and to define a set of recommendations and reorientation guide-lines suitable to both the private and the public sectors. The methodological approach to achieve these ends consisted, for each field of study, in the following three- step program : (i) information gathering and description of the system (11) analysis and evaluation (iii) types of interventions required to improve the system. The global view of the sequence of problems and fields of application has permitted to extend the scope of our study to include the basic guide-lines for a governmental action- program. This action-program or development strategy provides the setting for our framework of recommendations while also defining a unified intersectoral policy designed for the textile system as a whole. 3. ! 2. ACKÄOWLEDOEMEHTS '1 The conditions of realization of the present study required numerous permanent contacts with miscellaneous organisations, and the ready availability of various records and specific data; the former were often very difficult to reach and the latter were largely still to be compiled. We take advantage of the opportunity to thank all the agencies and organizations which have contributed not only to the impro- vement of our working conditions but also to establish the factual foundations of the analyses and recommendations which are set forth herein. We wish to acknowledge,in particular, the support of UHIDO Representatives in Rio - MIC - BUDE - IPEA -IBOE - Fundaoao O.Vargas - Banco do Nordeste - SÚDEME - IMDI - CACEX - COMCEX • GDI - Several industrial federations and textile Syndicates - Industrialists, distributors and export agents. I». 3. METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH 3.1. Th« first Btep in our met hodological approach was the elaboration of an analysi s on the economic evolution since I960, concerning pr imarily the following topics : productivity, psychology (attitude towards modernization), organization, management, structures (equipment, machine- ry, installed capacity, o bsolescence), distribution and its channels, export poli cies, industrial views of the governmental policy, inve stments and autonomous trends. The data concerning the 1 960 situation, mainly in the field of equipment, was a fforded by CEPAL. 3.2. The second component is th e diagnosis of the 1970 situa- tion. This was the result of extensive and intensive inquiries and surveys and was based on the documents pertaining to input/output analyses. The sample of industrial units surveyed for the study accounts for approximately 650,000 spin dies in the cotton sector and 11+0,000 spindles in the wo ol and blends sector. These premises were conduc i ve to the global examination of intersectoral and inter regional interactions and of the part played by the spo ntaneous sectors (crafts and unorganized activities). 3.3. The third step consists in defining a long-run perspec- tive plan for the next ten years. 3.U. On the basis of these three steps and in the context of an intersectoral strategy which makes provision for the uncertainty factor, general developmental guide-lines are finally set forth. The general guide-lines are designed to help define a general action program with specific interventions for each field of study. 3.5. Some of the outstanding results of the analysis concern ¡ - the overriding role of man-made fibers and the impact of synthetic fiber substitution! - the wide range of performances and degrees of moderni- zation of the production units; 1 the significant lag between the tempo of equipment modernization and the operational infrastructure (i.e.
