Energy crisis is directly affecting the cotton and cotton yarn exports as exporters are unable to ensure timely delivery of goods. Industry sources said that default by Pakistani textile mills in fulfilling and timely delivery of yarn export orders was gradually increasing mainly due to continued electricity load shedding and gas shortage. They said the delay in export of goods by Pakistani exporters had provided some opportunities to India and now leading importing countries like China, Bangl

China's aggressive cotton stockpiling policy has pushed up domestic prices, forcing the world's largest textile industry to boost imports of yarn by as much as a third in 2013, while production moves to southeast Asia, drawn by lower costs there. Beijing's stockpiling moves, launched in 2011 and designed to support farmers, have held domestic cotton prices about 40 percent above world levels as the country has built a reserve that traders estimate to stand at about 10 million tonnes.
