Future outlook
The country’s cotton production will be substantially lower than anticipated because the crop has been extensively damaged in the recent flooding.
The textile export-oriented industry is facing liquidity crunch amid increasing cotton prices, devaluation of rupee against the US dollar, delay in shipments and working capital requirements of textile exporters.
However, the management of JK Spinning Mills Limited is concentrating efforts on reducing costs by increasing capacity and improving efficiencies in order to achieve the desired financial outcomes for the upcoming fiscal year.
