The United International Group (UIG) has urged the government for firm measures to protect cotton growers from any unpleasant situation in the future lest it bring down the annual production, said Mian Shahid, Chairman of the UIG.
Mian Shahid demanded steps aimed at safeguarding the rights of planters who are in pain due to collapse of cotton crop. Low cotton output is hurting millions of families in the farming communities and it is to drag exports down and GDP which is unacceptable.
