Pakistan is the fourth largest producer of cotton in the world, and importantly also holds the third largest spinning capacity in Asia (after China and India) with thousands of ginning and spinning units producing textile products from cotton. Approximately 1.5 million smallholder farmers rely on cotton for a living.
Cotton is the country’s most
widely cultivated crop and an important raw material for its growing textiles
industry, representing 8.5% of GDP*. In a bid to further improve its
export volumes the Pakistani government launched Cotton Vision 2015: a drive to
boost production to 20 million bales in four years.
However, as cotton farmers
contend with the effects of extreme weather and pest outbreaks damaging the
crops, the future of Pakistan’s cotton production will depend on men and women
playing an equal role in fighting climate change and promoting sustainable
farming practices.
