March 03, 2025 (MLN): Cotton arrivals in Pakistan fell 34% to 5.5 million bales as of February 28, 2025, compared to 8.4m bales in the same period last year, as per the latest data released by the Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association (PCGA).

The report indicates a significant decline in cotton production in 2025, negatively affecting the national economy, the textile sector, and the financial stability of farmers.

According to the breakup of the data, cotton arrivals from Sindh province stood at 2.8m bales, down 32% on a year-over-year basis.

Meanwhile, cotton arrivals from Punjab province, another key cotton-producing region, decreased by 36% to 2.7m bales.

Pakistan is among the top ten cotton-producing countries in the world, and cotton and textile products are among the country’s major exports. However, output still stands below expectations.
