Cotton arrivals in Punjab increased by 7.53 per cent, bringing the total to 4.08 million bales, according to data released by Investify. The rise reflects a notable acceleration in the state's cotton inflow during the latest reporting period.
The growth rate in Punjab outpaced that of Pakistan’s Sindh province, which recorded a slower increase in cotton deliveries over the same timeframe. While exact figures for Sindh were not disclosed, the comparative trend highlights Punjab’s expanding role in the regional cotton market.
