Nicaragua & Honduras set to gain in US non-cotton T-shirt market
Nicaragua’s substantial RCA of 74.12 and zero tariffs under CAFTA-DR make it highly competitive in the US non-cotton T-shirt market. Honduras, with an RCA of 55.78 and also benefiting from zero tariffs, offers a UVR of $12.28/kg, balancing cost and quality. In contrast, China’s competitiveness is diminishing due to a 52 per cent tariff, making its products less attractive to US importers.
