Abstract

The importance of cotton and its products for the economy of Pakistan is obvious enough. Cotton is the main cash crop of Pakistan. In fact, it is one-fourth of the value of the major crops of Pakistan and provides income to about 5 million people. It is a raw material for the textile industry which is the single largest industrial activity accounting for 48 % of the value-added of the large-scale manufacturing and 27 % of its employment. The value of the installed textile machinery complex is around 15 % of the total industrial investment in the country. Exports of cotton and its products constitute about a half of the total export proceeds of Pakistan
