Complete answer:
At the Erode cloth Market which is one of the greatest markets in the world merchants, weavers and exporters do the following:
1.Merchants: A person who is involved in trade or business of the commodities that are produced by other people is a merchant. They provide yarn to weavers and instructions about the kind of cloth that is to be made and distribute work among them according to their skills. After the weavers have weaved the cloth, they buy them back and then sell them to the manufacturers, production houses, the garment factories and exporters around the country in order.

2.Weavers: As the name suggests, weaver is the person whose job is to weave clothes by crossing two different types of yarns or threads under each other and over each other. Weavers from Erode in Tamil Nadu receive yarn from the merchant and then on order make cloth for the merchants. After making the clothes, they bring it for sale to the Erode cloth Market in Tamil Nadu.

3.Exporters: Shirts are made from the cloth that has been brought from all over the country to the Erode cloth market in Tamil Nadu. As the name suggests, these shirts are then exported by the exporters to foreign buyers.

Note:The system in which the weaver receives the supply of raw material from the merchant and in return provides fabric or cloth to the merchant is called the putting out system. Under this system while being at home workers can work at their own speed and this is one of the main advantages of this system.
