Planning garment orders for Kumasi
Warm year-round with rains from April to July and September to November; peaks follow Christmas, Easter, Independence Day (6 March) and school terms. We ship from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Tema / Takoradi in about 25–40 days; production takes 25 to 60 days, so confirm peak-season orders for Kumasi three to five months ahead.
How an order reaches Kumasi
Goods for Kumasi are cut, sewn and finished in our partner factories, inspected on an AQL basis and consolidated at our Gujarat base, then loaded at Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva. The container is discharged at Tema / Takoradi, and your clearing agent moves it on to Kumasi. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.
Importers in Kumasi usually start with a mixed first container to test the market: two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles. Repeat orders then concentrate on the lines that sell, which shortens the lead time because fabric and patterns are already on file.
Why importers in Kumasi source garments from India
Buyers want printed shirts, kaftans, T-shirts, jeans, school uniforms and church and funeral wear. Indian factories supply the fabrics these buyers ask for, such as cotton, rayon, linen blends, denim and knits, in small design runs, which suits importers in Kumasi who test a range before they commit to larger orders.
Importers in Accra and Tema supply wholesalers at Makola and Kantamanto; fashion boutiques buy ready-made lines; schools and institutions order uniforms. A mixed first container with two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles is the usual way in, and repeat orders then concentrate on what sells.

Leggings: Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly.

Shirts: Formal and casual shirts are staple stock for menswear retailers and uniform suppliers, reordered as sizes and colours sell out.

Caps: Caps are cheap to ship and easy to brand, so they feature in promotional orders, school and event wear, and retail accessory ranges.
