The Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) is considering setting up a ‘Pakistan Apparels Export Council’ to facilitate business in the sector, its central chairman Ijaz A Khokhar has said. The move is part of the association’s efforts to boost garment exports with a target to raise it to $8 billion by 2020.

A board comprising members of the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) and the textile ministry, and other stakeholders will be constituted for finding out ways to raise the export volume. Initial work for establishing the council has been completed, Khokhar told a news agency.

A technical training institute for the readymade garments industry to teach stitching, pattern designing, quality control, inspection, marketing and sewing machine mechanics will be set up in Sialkot at an expense of over Rs 175 million. A suitable site for the institute had been selected, he said. (DS)
