Army should step in and put a complete halt of this illegal arrival of low quality stuff from india if our forigne minister can't be allowed to speak in public meeting , the cotton can sit and remain in india and burn

What if this negatively impacts the Pakistani merchants and labourers?
What if the indian cotton is of very high quality?
What if India can find some other buyer for this stockpile?
Anyways good and wise decision by Pakistani authorities.

Look at this .. After so much of internet bravado...........


ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will allow the import of life-saving drugs from India but only on the condition that the drugs are used for non-commercial purposes.

The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting held on November 23 and chaired by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

The cabinet authorised the commerce ministry to allow the import of such medicines on “a case-by-case basis”.

Previously, the prime minister’s approval was required for allowing the import of items listed on the ‘negative list’.

Officials said the cabinet was informed that several donor-funded health programmes were being run in Pakistan for eliminating various diseases.

The government, officials said, also received in kind support and donations from donors such as the Global Fund (GF) and Global Drug Facility (GDF) for running such programmes.

Most accredited anti-TB drugs, the government was informed, were being manufactured in India and many medicines of Indian origin were on the ‘negative list’ under the current import regime.

Earlier, securing permission for importing any item on the negative list was difficult because it required the approval of the prime minister after getting the concurrence of a high-level committee headed by the commerce minister. The attendance of the secretaries of commerce, industries and production and the FBR chairman was also required in the meeting.

The cabinet was urged to authorise the commerce ministry to allow non-commercial imports of medicines listed on the ‘negative list’ and third-party (such as WHO) donations from India on case-to-case basis.

It is learnt that when the proposal was submitted to the prime minister, he wanted it to be placed before the cabinet or the Economic Committee of the Cabinet since the proposal entailed a policy shift.

The ministries of industries and production, national health, service regulations and coordination divisions and FBR had supported the idea

Pakistan has resumed cotton imports from its top supplier India after suspending them for few days, government and industry officials told Reuters on Thursday.

The resumption in the cotton trade will help India in exporting surplus, while Pakistan will benefit from cheaper supplies from the neighbouring country.

Last month Pakistan suspended cotton imports from India, saying shipments failed to fulfil phyto-sanitary certification, threatening the $822 million-a-year trade.

"Our move was portrayed as if we had banned imports," Imran Shami, director general of Pakistan’s Plant Protection Department (DPP) told Reuters, so we have started re-issuing permits, he added. Authorities are still working on the certification issue.

Indian traders have signed contracts to export 350,000 bales to Pakistan since the start of the marketing year on Oct.1. Out of that nearly 300,000 bales for shipments in December and January were stuck after Pakistan suspended imports.

"Since Pakistan has started issuing import permits, we are hopeful that buyers will fulfil the contracts," said an exporter based in the western state of Gujarat.

In 2015/16, Pakistan surpassed Bangladesh to become India's biggest cotton buyer, accounting for 40 percent of exports.

"Pakistan still needs to import at least 2 to 2.5 million bales. Resumption in trading will help both the countries," said Chirag Patel, chief executive officer of Indian exporter Jaydeep Cotton Fibers.

Pakistan's cotton consumption is pegged around 15 million bales, while it is likely to produce around 10.5 million bales, Patel said.
Last year, Pakistan bought 2.7 million bales from India and supported Indian cotton prices at a time when China was cutting imports, traders said.

It really is shameful that Pakistani merchants are buying cotton from their enemy. You should track them down and bring them to senses.

Import ban only affects Pakistani exports. If Pakistan has not enough cotton at affordable price, then there will be a shortage and prices of clothes go skyrocketing. Of course you can look for other sources like Brazil, or some Latin countries but it takes time and costs much high. Bangladesh will see this as an opportunity and take your place in exporting. The end result is you loosing business because of hatred. Look at the Cinemas. Just like that.

Well if farmers make good money from growing cotton more will cultivate it and then pakistan will be able to meet its demand lpcally! But because of imported indian cotton farmers are not making gppd returns so they are not growing cotton.

Look friend. You can't just do "Ok we will ban the imports and cultivate it by ourselves". It is not practical. This is not like making cars. And you can't meet your demands locally.
