16. Pakistan’s textile industry is going through one of the toughest periods in
decades. The global recession which has hit the global textile really hard
is not the only cause for concern . Serious problems that are discussed in
this research effected Pakistan’s textile industry very badly. Given the fact
that this industry still provides the major share of exports and
employment opportunities, there is more than a greater need for steps in
right direction to revive it. Moreover, there is need to control quality as
our yarn and apparel products from finer counts are highly vulnerable to
international competition.

17.  Removal of Energy Crisis.
 Forming special export policies and tax exemptions.
 Improvement in productivity.
 Exploration of new export markets.
 Awareness of International Quality Standards.
 Use of High Yielding Seeds for better quality production.
 Increasing the government cooperation with textile industry.
