Does it really make sense to manufacture?

Biggest and oldest of textile companies are shifting their focus from manufacturing as they find it difficult to compete with increasing imports from Taiwan, China and Bangladesh. Bombay Dyeing and Manufacturing Company Ltd. is selling its manufacturing unit at Ranjangaon, Pune for Rs 230 crore to Oasis Procon Pvt. Ltd.
Does it really make sense to manufacture? Or should we focus more on trading. Do we really have the capacity to compete at low prices or should we trade. Can we achieve higher profitability or higher volume?
