Textile firms are having difficulties exporting their products to the United Arab Emirates and other nations in the Middle East following the continued tension in the region, fueled by Israel and the United States' attack on Iran.
The inability to export textiles inevitably resulted in stocks piling up outside the factories.
"More than 50 percent of our current stock is textile products that we were supposed to export to Middle Eastern countries," sources from a textile factory in Gyeongsan, North Gyeongsang, told Yonhap.
