Dr. Abid Mahmood said that the cotton is an essential natural fiber producing crop around the globe and is a vital agricultural commodity in the global economy.
Cotton and its products contribute about 1.5% of the net GDP and more than 51% of the net exports of Pakistan and thus such productive ventures and success will surely have a positive impact on stabilizing the economy of Pakistan and will open doors for better business opportunities in the global textile market.
