Pakistan: Cotton and Products Annual

With expectations for no change in area, and assuming average yields, cotton production is forecast to decline in 2024/25. Given prospects for an increase in cotton textile exports, domestic use is forecast to increase in 2024/25. As a result of the expected lower domestic production and higher domestic use, imports are forecast to increase marginally during 2024/25. High energy and finance costs will continue to constrain the textile sector’s growth through 2024/25.
