Textile, clothing exports soar to $13.7bn

Pakistan’s exports of textile and clothing sectors posted nearly 19 per cent growth in the 11 months of current fiscal year (11MFY21) compared to the same period a year ago, data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics showed on Saturday.

Total exports of textile and clothing were up 18.85pc to $13.748 billion between July and May this year against $11.567bn over the corresponding period in FY20.

On a monthly basis, export proceeds posted a growth of 41.14pc on a year-on-year basis to $1.06bn in May 2021.

Exports of ready-made garments were up by 14.35pc to $2.706bn in 11MFY21 against $2.367bn over the corresponding months of last year. Knitwear exports were up 32.70pc to $3.414bn against $2.572bn over the corresponding months of last year. Exports of bedwear increased by 24.60pc to $2.472bn this year against 1.984bn in FY20.

Similarly, in the value-added leather sector, exports of leather garments up by 9.92pc, leather gloves 19.08pc respectively. Exports of raw leather declined by over 17pc during these months.

In the non-value added sector, exports of cotton cloth posted a paltry growth of 0.97pc in 11MFY21 from a year ago. Similarly, exports of cotton yarn declined by 1.60pc and raw cotton 96.51pc. It clearly indicates that these raw materials were consumed mostly by the value-added sector as the government allowed duty-free import of these products.

Exports of cotton carded were up by 3.17pc and yarn other than cotton yarn by 20.24pc during the period under review.

  1. Islam is an EVIL and Intolerant ideology.

    (1) There is NO place for a woman in Islam and it’s EVIL laws.
    (2) Not a single rasool of Islam is a woman because
    Woman is just a sex toy as per Islam.
    (3) Woman’s and Daughter’s share in inheritance is LESS Than Half as compared to a SON in Islam.
    (4) Woman is NOT allowed to leave home without a MALE companion.Thus home is a prison for an Islamic Woman.
    (5) The value of a woman’s witness in any EVIL ISLAMIC SHARIA court is only HALF as compared to the Value of the witness of a Male.

    • Hinduism says people are born into a system where 25% of Hindus are so impure that they are not worthy of even being TOUCHED – and you’re complaining about inheritance. Dalits are killed for using the wells of high caste people, for daring to ride a horse or wear moustache. People are literally killed for this. And yes, we all know you’re a typical fragile Hindu.

  2. Mard islam me apni orat ka mhafaz hai. Tm jesi orty tra tra k mrdo k sath soti hen. Himat hai to samny aa ke face kro.
