IN August Pakistan’s cotton yarn exports to China surged.
Beijing imported $41.836 million worth of cotton yarn from Pakistan in August, which is 4.36 times more than $9.592 million imported in August 2019, with a year-on-year increase of 336%.
The substantial growth of Pakistan’s cotton yarn export to China, is mainly accounted for by low-count sirospun yarn “Pakistan mainly produces low-count sirospun yarns, such as those of 8s or 10s, generally below 21s, which are mostly imported to south China’s Guangdong province to be made into denim,” said a sales executive of import and export department at a clothing manufacturer.
