Currently in Pakistan there is a strong fibre base of 13 million bales of cotton which is almost stagnant for the past few years. To increase cotton based textile exports in the next five years, Pakistan textile industry has planned out a comprehensive strategy.
The proposed new measures include formulation of a new policy as well as restructuring of institutions dealing with cotton to promote availability of better cotton for the value-added sector in the textile value chain.
