Pakistan - Textile exports register 20pc growth in March

摘要

Textile industry registered 20 percent growth in exports in March 2010 comparing with March 2009, giving a picture entirely different from what the apparel sector is trying to paint simply to deceive the Minister for Textile Industry, adamant to curtail exports of yarn. The textile exports are witnessing exponential growth, in value terms, with 38 percent increase in exports of raw cotton, 18 percent in cotton yarn, 9 percent in cotton cloth, 306 percent in yarn other than cotton yarn, 20 percent in knitwear, 7 percent in bedwear, 26 percent in towels, 31 percent in tents, canvas and tarpaulin, 16 percent readymade garments, 103 percent in art silk and synthetic textile, 35 percent in made-up articles, and 75 percent in other textile materials.
