KARACHI: Value-added textile products' exports have witnessed 26 percent growth during current fiscal year as a result of extra ordinary efforts of Pakistani exporters.

This was stated by Chairman Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) Javed Chinoy during a meeting with Acting President FPCCI Dawood Usman Jakhura, here at Federation House on Saturday. He was accompanied by leading garment exporters and office bearers, said a statement from Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry.

Javed Chinoy said that FPCCI and PRGMEA have been playing a significant role in promotion of Pakistan exports of value- added products.

Dawood Jakhura stressed on an aggressive marketing of Readymade Garments in different countries besides diversification of non-traditional markets.

This will also strengthen the country's foreign exchange position.  Javed Chinoy observed that political instability would bring negative impact on entire national economy including the value- added textile sector.

He suggested that gas and electric tariff should be freezed for at least one year for ensuring consistency while pricing an export product.
