Take it or leave it ! Quit whinning it is quite simple.


Blah, blah....yeah same old same old. Whatever....we will focus on other countries.....Pakistan's a country that has periodic mood swings so no point in trying to get a concrete framework going on anything.

Nice to see that you still don't acknowledge the TATA-Daewoo snub by your prime minister.

Anyways, pakistanis will always be drawn to indian goods.....thats why dubai gets a lot of trade and that's why pakistani visit india a lot to secure deals like those below:

Indian cotton demand in Pakistan increasing: huge shipments ordered
ARIF RANA
ISLAMABAD (February 16 2007): Pakistan textile industry prefers Indian lint over local cotton as almost all major groups are placing orders to Indian traders for huge cotton shipments. Indian cotton costs more in Pakistan but better quality and comparatively more finished product in term of weight makes it attractive for the textile industry.

A textile industrialist said, "The Indian cotton costs Rs 150 to Rs 200 per maund more in Pakistan but it gives a fine product at the end with better weight and these things are now increasing Indian cotton demand in Pakistan."


Indian cotton shipments are making their way into Pakistan through Mumbai-Oman-Karachi route as option of Wagah route is still not available for cotton trade between India and Pakistan. Nishat Textile Mills and Riaz Textile Mills purchased 50,000 tonnes in two different deals from Indian Cotton Houses and their partial shipments have already reached Pakistan.

Sources said Nishat Textile Mills used Wagah border option and its shipment was withheld by the Customs at the border. The controversy persisted for three weeks. The importer took the matter up with the higher authorities in Islamabad, whose intervention worked in his favour and finally the customs allowed entry.

This has given hopes to other Pakistani textile groups that the government may allow import of cotton from India via Wagah once the local picking season ends by the end of the current month.

The textile industrialists claim that they prefer Indian cotton over the local production this year for two reasons-better quality and less contamination. Quality matter to textile industry perhaps more than other sectors and for the same reason major Pakistani textile groups are looking towards India and other markets such as Brazil and South Africa to get better quality cotton for making quality products.

Quality cotton is a question mark for Pakistan, although the government tried invain recently to educate the growers and ginners to produce contamination free cotton. Their end result was zero. The government growers and ginners blame each other for the failure but the fact is that contaminated cotton is harming their interest.
