“Pakistan (textile sector) is working on full capacity,” All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (Aptma) former chairman Asif Inam told The Express Tribune on Saturday. “We don’t have the capacity to take additional export orders these days. “We have so far imported around one-third of the total required quantity of imported cotton at 7.5-8 million bales. The imposition of the duty and taxes on cotton import by the previous government in the centre had put the textile industry in danger. We will use at least 15 million bales this year (FY20),” Aptma former chairman said.
