As one of the top cotton-producing countries in the world, Pakistan has a long and storied track record with the natural fiber. This is reflected in the overall consumption of the country's spinning industry: The country's mills consume about 2.1 million tonnes of cotton annually, as opposed to about 0.5 million tonnes of polyester. The majority of polyester production goes to basic commodity items that are produced for domestic market and for home furnishing made-ups, which are ultimately exported.
