Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar on Wednesday emphasised the need for coordinated and actionable steps to restore cotton's central role in the economy and improve returns to farmers.
He was chairing the third meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Essential Cash Crops. The committee held detailed discussions on the Cotton Plan 2025-26, focusing on immediate, medium and long-term policy measures essential for revival of Pakistan's cotton sector.
The Ministry of National Food Security and Research was directed to convene a follow-up meeting next week by bringing together all relevant public and private-sector stakeholders across the cotton value chain. The ministry will present an actionable implementation plan to the committee to ensure the effective execution of recommendations.
