My Dear Ginners,
I on behalf of my self, my colleagues and
all the members of Pakistan Cotton Ginners’ Association
feel proud to give my message on this web site. While
doing so I wish to record the appreciation of the keenness
of the Government to study closely the problems and
attainments of cotton growers, ginners, exporters for
future development, cooperation and better achievements
for the prosperity and welfare of the people and Ginning
Industry in Pakistan.
Cotton being the back bone of the economy of Pakistan,
needs no emphasis to treat this silver fiber with velvet
gloves so that prosperity of the country would be achieved
and the interest of the growers, ginners, the textile
mills and the exporters is safeguarded, although the
Pakistan cotton has earned for itself a vantage position
amongst the cotton growing countries of the world with
definite signs of improvement during the past decades
yet it needs a complete overhaul based on an analytical
study and adoption of technical measures for the improvement
of the whole cotton industry.
It is a matter of great appreciation that since
1971-72 the production of cotton has steadily been improved
to about 3.98 million bales in 1947-48 to 14.3 million
bales in the year 2004-05, based upon several factors
including a revolution in the quality consciousness
exhibited by the buyers both local and in foreign. The
economic factor supported the whole issue by the involvement
of Trading Corporation of Pakistan after closing of
Cotton Export Corporation and the cooperation of Textile
Mills as well. I feel no hesitation to state that a
remarkable cooperation has been extended by my members,
friends and ginners from all over Pakistan that is why
ever since 1977-78 the standard of ginning and pressing
of cotton in Pakistan has shown definite sign of further
improvement and embarked upon an era of maintaining
higher standard of ginning preparation then ripley effort
on the part of cotton ginners under the code of ethics
of PCGA which has brought good name to Pakistan in the
community of cotton exporting Nations which is evident
from the fact that our efforts in promoting the standard
and grade of cotton has proved but this is not an end.
There is still room for further improvement for which
we are doing our best.
We are going along with the Government proposals
and strategy and struggling full to renown the name
of Pakistan for making contamination free cotton I am
confident that my friends will adopt the entire possible
means and measures to work for production of contamination
free cotton which will the name of Pakistan as a best
cotton producers country, in all over the world.
