All the above ways have discussed in the following:

1. Total textile merchandising followed by two different merchandisers:

In this method, total textiles merchandising should be followed by two different merchandisers named fiber merchandiser and yarn merchandiser. Fiber merchandiser imports fibers from foreign countries for producing yarn. On the other hand, yarn merchandiser collects yarn from spinning factory for producing fabric.

The detailed working procedure of fiber merchandiser and yarn merchandiser have mentioned the below:

Working procedure of fiber merchandiser:
Fiber merchandiser works on behalf of the spinning factory. Importing different types of fibers from foreign countries is the main duty of fiber merchandiser. His duty is limited from fiber import to reaching in the spinning factory. Sometimes the marketing department of the spinning factory has done this job instead of fiber merchandiser. According to fiber requisition, fiber merchandiser contacts with the leading fiber producing countries from the world via email or phone and confirm all the necessary terms for importing fiber. The leading fiber producing countries in the world are China, India, United States, Pakistan, Brazil, Uzbekistan, Australia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Greece.

Also, he works on behalf of the spinning factory and knitting factory at the same time. He is the only one who provides fiber to the spinning factory and provides yarn to the knitting factory.
