The export value of raw cotton last year, had logged in at $20.9 million while this year it stands in at only $3.7 million, though considerably higher than previous month.

According to a formal report on the export figures of Pakistan, of all the textile products exported during the month, the export of readymade garments has experienced the largest decline in terms of value, on a month on month basis. It came down from $224.2 million during August 2018 to $163.8 million in September.

Among the remaining textile products, exports of made-up articles including towels, bed-wear, knitwear and cotton cloth, all suffered declines over prior month.
