31 اکتوبر تک کپاس کی آمد 6.88% اضافے سے 4.74 ملین گانٹھیں؛ معیار، ٹیکسٹائل سیکٹر کے مسائل برقرار

Cotton arrivals in Pakistan increased 6.88% year-on-year to 4.74 million bales by October 31, with Punjab contributing 1.999 million and Sindh/Balochistan over 2.743 million bales. Despite this rise, expanding sugarcane cultivation and high temperatures are compromising fibre quality, forcing textile mills to rely more on imported cotton. The industry also faces issues like rising power tariffs and alleged below-market imports of Chinese fabric. This ongoing struggle for a key export sector could strain Pakistan's trade balance and potentially add mild pressure to the PKR.
