Abstract:
The Pakistan textile industry contributes more than 60 percent
(US $ 9.6 billion) to the country’s total exports. However,
currently this industry is facing great decline in its growth rate.
The major reasons for this decline can be the global recession,
internal security concerns, the high cost of production due to
increase in the energy costs etc. Depreciation of Pakistani rupee
that significantly raised the cost of imported inputs, rise in
inflation rate, and high cost of financing has also effected
seriously the growth in the textile industry. As a result, neither the
buyers are able to visit frequently Pakistan nor are the exporters
able to travel abroad for effectively marketing their products.
With an in-depth investigation it was
found that the Pakistan’s textile industry can once again be
brought back on winning track if government takes serious
actions in removing or normalizing the above mentioned hurdles.
2. Additionally, the government should provide subsidy to the
textile industry, minimize the internal dispute among the
exporters, withdraw the withholding and sales taxes etc.
Purchasing new machinery or enhancing the quality of the
existing machinery and introducing new technology can also be
very useful in increasing the research & development (R & D)
related activities that in the modern era are very important for
increasing the industrial growth of a country.
Introduction
The Pakistan textile industry total export is around 9.6 billion US
dollars. The textile industry contributes approximately 46 percent
to the total output or 8.5 percent of the country GDP. In Asia,
Pakistan is the 8th largest exporter of textile products providing
employment to 38 percent of the work force in the country.
However, the textile industry currently faces massive challenges.
The All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) needs to
enhance the quality of its products. However, APTMA argues
other factors such as high interest rates and cost of inputs, non-
conducive government policies, and non-guaranteed energy
supplies hinder their competitiveness.
History of Pakistan Textile Industry
Increase in the cotton production and expansion of textile industry
has been impressive in Pakistan since 1947. Cotton – bales
increase from 1.1 million bales in 1947 to 10 million bales by
2000. Number of mills increased from 3 to 600 and spindles from
about 177,000 to 805 million similarly looms and finishing units
increased but not in the same proportion. Pakistan’s textile
3. industry experts feel that Pakistan has fairly large size textile
industry and 60-70% of machines need replacement for
the economic and quality production of products for a highly
competitive market. But unfortunately it does not have any
facility for manufacturing of textile machinery of balancing
modernization and replacement (BMR) in the textile mills. We
need to think about joint ventures for the production of complete
spinning units with china, Italy and production of shuttle less
looms with Korea, Taiwan and Italy. Reflecting on the state of
affairs, Abid Chinoy, Pakistan cloth merchants Association
(PCMA) Chairman, Appreciated government’s efforts to
encourage new exports and finding new markets, which need
aggressive export marketing. The steps taken on the monetary
front, such as the frequent devaluation of Pak rupee in terms of
dollar could not improve the cost competitiveness of exportable
products due to increase in prices of the local and imported inputs
of the local textile industry. During the period 1973 to December
1992, some 71 spinning units with 1,136, 835 spindles, 6,600
rotors ands
7,329 looms were closed down. In 1992, a foreign consultant
form was hired by the government to look into the stagnate
conditions in the local textile industry. One of the observations of
the foreign consultant was “Pakistan has failed to make real
progress in the international market and is being over taken by
many of the neighboring competitor countries.
The rise in export of value-added products from Pakistan was
another point of encouragement for the textile sector. “The export
of value-added products rose to 57.4% from 53.9% in 2002 which
is clear sign that we are moving in the right direction, “said the
Chairman of all Pakistan textile mills association. The trade
policy is considered an acceptable paper, but in the industry does
4. not fine anything that could lead to a high level exports
achievement and remove trade imbalance. Pakistan’s textile
sector earned US$5.77 billion during the 2003 year, compared
with US$5.577 BILLION OF 2000-2001 indicating a growth of
0.69%. The total exports of textile sector in 2004 were US 5.7
billion which shows 2.5% growth it increases to 4% growth in
2005 as compared to 2004.The
textile sector shows 8% negative growth in 2006.The negative
growth continue in 2007 also with the value of 5%. The textile
sector shows 15% growth in 2008. Now we will discuss the main
reasons of crisis in textile industry step by step in detail
a. Lack of Research & Development (R&D) in Cotton Sector
The lack of research & development (R&D) in the cotton sector
of Pakistan has resulted in low quality of cotton in comparison to
rest of Asia. Because of the subsequent low profitability in cotton
crops, farmers are shifting to other cash crops, such as sugar cane.
It is the lack of proper R&D that has led to such a state. They
further accuse cartels, especially the pesticide sector, for
hindering proper R&D. The pesticide sector stands to benefit
from stunting local R&D as higher yield cotton is more pesticide
resistant.
b. Lack of Modernize Equipment
Moreover, critics argue that the textile industry has obsolete
equipment and machinery. The inability to timely modernize the
equipment and machinery has led to the decline of Pakistani
textile competitiveness. Due to obsolete technology the cost of
production is higher in Pakistan as compared to other countries
like India, Bangladesh & china.
c. Finance Bill to Burden Industry Further
All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) has told that
government’s actions are not matching with its words for the
5. textile industry. Referring to the Prime Minister Yusuf Raza
Gilani speech at the
launching ceremony of the Infrastructure Development of the
Pakistan Textile City at Port Qasim Industrial Area, where Prime
Minister spoke high of the textile industry contribution towards
the country’s economy, Chairman APTMA Tariq Mehmood said
the federal budget 2009-10 is a total negation of the
acknowledgement of the role of textile industry on the part of the
Prime Minister. According to him, reintroduction of minimum tax
on domestic sales would invite unavoidable liquidity problem,
which is already reached to the alarming level. He said the textile
industry was facing negative generation of funds due to
unaffordable markup rate on the one hand and acute shortage of
energy supply & unimaginable power tariff for industry.
d. Increasing Cost of Production
The cost of production of textile rises due to many reasons like
increasing interest rate, double digit inflation & decreasing value
of Pakistani rupee. The above all reason increased the cost of
production of textile industry which create problem for a textile
industry to compete in international market.
e. Internal issues Pose a Larger Threat for Pakistan’s Textile
Industry
Pakistan’s textile industry is going through one of the toughest
period in decades. The global recession which has hit the global
textile really hard is not the only cause for concern. The high cost
of production resulting from an instant rise in the energy costs has
been the primary cause of concern for the industry. Depreciation
of Pakistani rupee during last year raised the cost of imported
inputs. In addition, double digit inflation and high cost of
financing has seriously effected the growth in the textile industry.
Pakistan's textile exports have gone down during last three years
6. as exporters cannot effectively market their products since buyers
are not visiting Pakistan due to adverse travel advisory and it is
getting more and more difficult for the exporters to travel abroad.
Textile exporters rightfully demand reduction of Kibor rate to 8%
to avoid a severe decline in exports. A three-year comprehensive
textile policy is expected to be announced before budget 2009-10.
The textile policy has been designed to enhance the exports of
textile sector to $ 25 billion in next three years. This was stated
by the Minister for Textile Industry Rana Farooq Saeed Khan.
Textile Minister further informed that the spinning and weaving
sector would get its due share from the Export Investment Support
Fund, worth Rs. 40 billion allocated in the Federal Budget 2009-
10. Rana Farooq pointed out that he has advocated the case of
immediate support to textile industry in the Parliament and also
in the Cabinet meetings because he is confident that only textile
industry was capable enough to bail out Pakistan from the current
economic crisis. He further said that although we are 4th largest
producer and 3rd largest consumer of cotton but unfortunately
now we are at number 12 in the international trade of textile
products. Additionally, he stressed that government should take
immediate measures to remove slowdown in the textile sector. He
said that high cost of doing business is because of intensive
increase in the rate of interest which has increased the problems
of the industry. He said that record increase in markup rates is one
of the major cause of defaults in servicing the loans availed by the
industry, hence, the volume of non-performing loans has reached
to an alarming situation. He said that power shut downs may
result in massive unemployment resulting in law & order
situation.
7. f. Energy Crisis
• Electricity Crisis
As a consequence of load-shedding the textile production
capacity of various sub-sectors has been reduced by up to 30 per
cent. The joint meeting of APTMA & other related organization
was held at APTMA House to formulate a joint strategy to
address the alarming electricity crisis being faced by the textile
industry. The meeting unanimously decided to constitute a joint
working group of electricity management for the textile industry
in the larger interests of the value chain of the textile industry.
The joint working group will meet shortly to design a detailed
plan to pursue the following goals; Immediate total exemption
from Electricity load shedding for the textile industry value chain;
Rationalization and reduction of electricity tariff. The load-
shedding of electricity cause a rapid decrease in production which
also reduced the export order. The cost of production has also
risen due to instant increase in electricity tariff. Due to load
shedding some mill owner uses alternative source of energy like
generator which increase their cost of production further. Due to
such dramatic situation the capability of competitiveness of this
industry in international market effected badly. Fig. 1. illustrates
comparison between electricity production and consumption.
Figure 1: Comparison between Electricity Production and Consumption
8. • Gas Shortage
Gas load-shedding continues in Punjab and NWFP despite a
significant increase in temperature. A spokesman for the All
Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) claimed that 60 to
70 per cent of the industry had been affected and was unable to
accept export orders coming in from around the globe. He said
the textile industry had already endured over 45 days of gas
disconnection over a period of four months, causing extraordinary
production losses and badly affecting capability of the industry.
In Punjab, he said, energy supply disruption only was causing an
estimated loss of Rs1 billion per day. In the larger interest of the
economy and exports, he suggested, the government should
“ensure utility
companies provide smooth electricity and gas supply to the textile
industry”.
g. Tight Monetary Policy
The continuity of tight monetary policy causes an intensive
increase in cost of production. Due to high interest rate financing
cost increases which cause a severe effect on production. The
9. withholding tax of 1% also effect the production badly. The high
cost of doing business is because of intensive increase in the rate
of interest which has increased the problems of the industry. The
government should take immediate measures to remove
slowdown in the textile sector.
h. Removal of subsidy on Textile sector
The provisions of Finance Bill 2009-10 are not textile industry
friendly at all. Provisions like reintroduction of 0.5% minimum
tax on domestic sales, 1% withholding tax on import of textile
and articles etc., are nothing but last stick on industry’s back.
Reintroduction of minimum tax on domestic sales would invite
unavoidable liquidity problem, which is already reached to the
alarming level. The textile industry was facing negative
generation of funds due to unaffordable markup rate.
i. Lack of new investment
Pakistan textile industry is facing problem of Low productivity
due to its obsolete textile machineries. To overcome this problem
and to stand in competition, Pakistan Textile Industry will require
high investments. There is a continuous trend of investing in
spinning since many years. Pakistan’s textile industry estimates
that around Rs1, 400 billion (US$32 billion) of investment was
required till 2010 in order to achieve the government's export
target." Pakistan is facing externally as well as internally
problems which restricts the new investment. The unpredictable
internal condition of Pakistan causes a rapid decrease in foreign
investment that affected all industries but especially textile
industry.
j. United States & EU cuts imports of textile from Pakistan
United States cancel more than 50% of textile orders of Pakistan
.US also impose a high duty on the import of textile of Pakistan
which effect the export in a bad manner. US & EU are the major
10. importer of Pakistan textile which create a huge difference in
export of Pakistan textile after imposing a restriction on import of
Pakistani textile goods.
k. Raw material Prices
Prices of cotton & other raw material used in textile industry
fluctuate rapidly in Pakistan. The rapid increase in the price raw
material effect the cost of production badly. The increase in raw
material prices fluctuate rapidly door to double digit inflation &
instable internal condition of Pakistan. Due to increase in the cost
of production the demand for export & home as well decreased
which result in terms of downsizing of a firm. Hence the
unemployment level will also increase. Govt. should take serious
step to survive the textile industry. In order to decrease the price
raw material for textile we need to increase our production
capability. Simultaneously, the government should make
arrangement for introducing international system of Cotton
Standardization in Pakistan to enhance quality and value of
Pakistan lint cotton by utilizing the technical services of Pakistan
Cotton Standard Institute.
l. Export Performance of the Textile Sector
For the second year in a row, the country missed annual textile
export target of 12 billion dollars by 20 percent due to high cost
of production, power shortage and stiff competition with regional
players. The federal government envisaging 15 percent growth
had set textile export target of 12 billion dollars for FY09 against
10.35 billion dollars for FY08. However, in FY09, the country
not only missed its textile export target but also registered a
decline of some 6 percent as compared to FY08. "Yes, the country
has fallen short of textile export target by over 2 billion dollars
due to the global meltdown and several barriers faced by textile
11. industry on the domestic front," said Mirza Ikhtiar Baig, Prime
Minister's
Advisor on Textile. Ikhtiar said that high cost of doing business,
power shortage, poor industrial infrastructure and slow external
demand are some major factors contributing to the decline in
textile export. However, he is confident that during the current
fiscal year textile sector will show better performance as the
government is trying to remove the tariff barriers, besides
exploring new textile export markets. "I am confident that the
governments and the Ministry of Textile's efforts will be helpful
in boosting the country's textile export and enabling it to compete
with other regional competitors like India and China," Baig said.
Additionally, the official statistics of the State Bank of Pakistan
(SBP) show that the country's textile exports are also some 2.36
percent lower than the export of fiscal year 2006-07, in which
overall textile exports as per receipts stood at 10.011 billion
dollars. The central bank has also revealed that out of 12 major
textile export 9 registered negative growth and export of only
three items - raw cotton, bed wear and towels has posted some
increase. With 18.34 percent decline, readymade garments
exports stood at 983 million dollars and knitwear export at 2.054
billion dollars after a decline to 4 percent in FY09. Fig. 2. shows
comparison of Pakistan Textile Exports in (US$bn) for different
fiscal years.
Figure 2: Pakistan Textile Exports in (US$bn) for different fiscal years
12. m. The Effect of Global Recession on Textile Industry
In economics, the term ‘recession’ means “The reduction of a
country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for at least two
quarters; or in normal terms, it is a period of reduced economic
activity.” Pakistan is 26th largest economy in the world, and 47th
largest in terms of the dollar. It is sad to see our economy like this
now. Pakistan is actually a very economically diverse country
with boasting industries of textiles, agriculture, etc. The main
reason for this slump has largely been the political instability over
the past few years; no proper economic policies were
implemented; at least none that succeeded. This caused a very
high rate of inflation, which, in 2008, had increased to a whopping
25% as compared to a 7.9% of 2006.
What occurred afterwards is what we call the domino effect. The
value of the Rupee crashed from 60-1USD to 80-1 USD in only a
month, the prices of commodities soared through the roof, the
number of people living below poverty line increased from 60
million to 77 million, and consequently, the working class layman
became virtually deprived from basic necessities like water,
wheat, electricity, natural gas, and cooking oil; add to all this, the
preposterous amounts of load-shedding, and what we get is a
nation in shambles. The above all situation of the economy badly
affected the textile industry also. The demand for textile product
13. cut down locally & internationally as well. The export order
reduced due to
unpredictable conditions of Pakistan & political instability. The
cut down in the production of textile cause further unemployment
level which decrease the living standard of peoples.
n. Effect of Inflation
Inflation rate is measured as the change in consumer price index
(CPI). Inflation is basically a general rise in the price level. It is
decline in the real value of money. Inflation can have adverse
effect on economy. Pakistan is one of prey of inflation. It still
faces high double digit inflation. The increase in inflation cause
the increase in the cost of production of textile good which return
in downsizing. The double digit inflation cause reduction in
exports of textile.
o. Unemployment Caused by Textile
Unemployment occurs when a person is available to work and
seeking work but currently without work. The unemployment rate
in 2006 was 6.6 per cent which decreases 0.1 percent in 2007. The
unemployment rate reaches to 7.5 per cent in 2008 due to global
crisis. As the LSM decrease the production that’s why the
unemployment level rises very rapidly. The rise in unemployment
level is 11 per cent in 2009. The unemployment rate in textile
industry was very high during the current fiscal years because of
recession & increasing cost of inputs & fluctuating situations of
country. Year wise comparison of inflation and unemployment
with the time can be seen in Fig. 3 and Table 1.

Recommendations
The government is considering curative measures on the
recommendations of stakeholders to address the problems and
issues faced by the textile industry of the country for enhancing
its production and exports. The government is likely to announce
textile policy also called National Textile Strategy in the mid of
current month to help promote the textile sector of the country,
sources told APP. For the purpose of this, the Textile Ministry has
consulted all textile sector associations and the chambers of
commerce and industry. The ministry received recommendations
for zero rating on import of textile machinery, zero rating exports,
tariff reduction, incessant energy supply to textile units. Issues
relating to the market access and quality products with timely
delivery and single digit mark up and special power tariff for the
textile industry has also been recommended. It has been suggested
that textile policy might include the issue like duty free market
access to European Union and United States as Pakistan is the
largest importer of USA long staple cotton to the tune of $400
million to $500 million every year. In addition, the economic
observes believe that the textile sector was passing through a
difficult phase due to energy shortage in the country and needed
curative measures for promotion.
Some other Specific Recommendations are given as under:
• Remedy though Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
• Image Building of Pakistan to Attract Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI)
• Focus on Value Addition
• Technology Up-gradation & Capacity Building
• Human Resources Development
16. • Reducing the cost of doing Business in Pakistan
• Need for Improving Textile Production
• Improvement in productivity
• Awareness of International Quality Standards
• Introducing concept of on-the- job-training
• Introducing efficient management techniques
• Subsidy removal should be taken a back
• Interest rate should be low down in order to survive this industry
• Electricity & gas tariff
• Removal of Energy Crisis
• Exploration of new Export Markets
Conclusions
Pakistan’s textile industry is going through one of the toughest
periods in decades. The global recession which has hit the global
textile really hard is not the only cause for concern. Serious
internal issues also effected Pakistan’s textile industry very badly.
The high cost of production resulting from an instant rise in the
energy costs has been the primary cause of concern for the
industry. Depreciation of Pakistani rupee during last year which
has significantly raised the cost of imported inputs. Furthermore,
double digit inflation and high cost of financing has seriously
affected the growth in the textile industry. Pakistan's textile
exports in turn have gone down during last three years as
exporters cannot effectively market their produce since buyers are
not visiting Pakistan due to adverse travel conditions and it is
getting more and more difficult for the exporters to travel abroad.
Pakistan’s textile industry is lacking in research & development
(R & D). The production capability is very low due to obsolete
machinery & technology. Pakistan is facing high cost of
production due to several factors like the hike in electricity tariff,
the increase in interest rate, energy crisis, devaluation of Pakistani
17. rupee, increasing cost of inputs, political instability, removal of
subsidy & internal dispute. The above all factor increase the cost
of production which decreases the exports. Exports receipts
decrease from $ 10.2 B to $ 9.6 B. The global recession also hit
badly the textile industry. Double digit inflation also caused
decrease in production in textile sector which cause the increase
in unemployment level. By the removal of subsidy, the industry’s
production gets higher effected which prove as a last strike on
industry’s back. Govt. should provide subsidy to the textile
industry for the survival of this industry. Continuity of 1pc
controversial withholding tax on import of essential raw material
(cotton & polyester staple fibre) for industry should be withdrawn
immediately. This withdrawal would enable the industry to
procure some 3m cotton bales annually from outside world in
order to meet the shortage and to compete with regional
competitors in international market to earn foreign exchange for
the country.
On imposition of 16% FED on banking and insurance services
such advance taxes would play havoc with the growth of the
industry in already existing adverse circumstances and needed to
be withdrawn immediately. The government should not withdraw
sales tax and withholding tax exemption on machinery and parts,
as it would add cost besides liquidity problem for the industry.
