据《每日时报》报道，2011 年 7 月至 2012 年 6 月，巴基斯坦出口了 150 万包棉花，比 2011 年出口的 100 万包多了 50%。
出口创收$4.25亿元以上。
China and Southeast Asian countries – including Thailand, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Indonesia – were the top purchasers of Pakistani cotton, accounting for about two thirds of the total amount exported. The exported cotton was mostly sold in the 82-92 cents per pound range. India bought around 200,000 bales of light grade, which they are using in blends and exporting the material to Europe.
Of the country’s record production of 15.6 million bales (early projections were set for 14.5 million bales), Punjab was the top producer, generating 11.8 million bales. In spite of reaching an all-time high in 2011/12, the industry hopes that record won’t stand for long, with realistic projections topping 16 million bales for next year.
