The Pakistan Readymade Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) Chief Coordinator Ijaz Khokhar said that the country’s export of textile and clothing have been declining sharply during the last six months (July-Dec) of 2015 and the government needs to take preventive measures to enhance textile exports.
Pakistan’s export market has already shrunk due to high energy cost and discriminating import duties on the industry's raw material and a decline in cotton production, said Ijaz Khokhar.
