Karachi: Federal Government ne mulk bhar mein nayi sugar mills ke qiyam par pabandi khatam karne ka faisla kar liya hai, jisse sugarcane ki paidawaar mein izafa aur khurdni tel ki imports barhne ke khadshat paida ho gaye hain.
Chairman Cotton Ginners Forum, Ehsan-ul-Haq, ne bataya ke Government ne sugar industry ko de-regulate karne ka decision liya hai aur Ministry of Food Security jald Prime Minister ko summary bhejegi jisme nayi sugar mills ke qiyam par pabandi khatam karne ki tajweez di jayegi.
Ehsan-ul-Haq ne kaha ke is decision se sugarcane ki kaasht record level tak barh sakti hai, jabke cotton ki kaasht mein kami aane ka khadshat hai. Pehle hi 300 se zyada ginning factories aur 150 se zyada textile mills non-functional hain, jin mein bade textile groups ki mills bhi shamil hain.
PCGA ki report ke mutabiq 15 November tak mulki ginning factories se 48 lakh 57 hazar gannth ke barabar cotton lint supply hui. Punjab mein 3% ki kami aur Sindh mein 2% ka izafa hua. Textiles mills ne 39 lakh 92 hazar gannth kharidi, jabke exporters ne 1 lakh 67 hazar gannth kharidi.
Ehsan-ul-Haq ne kaha ke October 31, 2025 tak textile mills ne 35 lakh 90 hazar gannth kharidi, jo pichle saal ke mukable 55 hazar gannth zyada thi. Lekin 15 November tak yeh kharidari pichle saal ke mukable 1 lakh 48 hazar gannth kam ho gayi, jo textile industry ke ongoing economic crisis ko dikhata hai.
