Abstract: From the beginning, the cotton textile industry has been the keystone of Pakistan's industrial development. In both the large scale (more than III employees) and the small scale sectors, cotton textiles is the single most i!nportant industry in terms of both the value of output and employment. Cotton textiles account for more than IS percent of all exports and a much higher share of manufactured exports. While the importance of textiles has diminished with the spread of industrialization to other sectors, the predominance of textiles in manufacturing employment. value added and exports is likely to continue for some time.
