This is the highest import of textile and apparel material from this particular market in years. Fabrics turn out to be biggest contributor to this expenditure, which is $581.9 million, with a year–on–year surge of 26 percent.

Other imported products include all types of fibres at $49.7 million and cotton thread with $18.6 million. Import of cotton and yarn witnessed sharp growth in these three quarters.
