Seeking level-playing field: PRGMEA worried over textile exports

Textile exports decreased by 1.54%

KARACHI: Expressing serious concern over continued decline in textile exports owing to deteriorated power crisis, Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) on Wednesday sought a level playing field for value-added textile industry of Punjab, as industries in other provinces are enjoying smooth gas and power supplies, rendering the Punjab industry uncompetitive within the country. PRGMEA Chairman Ijaz Khokhar observed that the country had exported textile goods worth $4.6 billion during July-October 2014-2015 against $4.7 billion of the same period of the previous year, showing drop of 1.54%.
