Apparel exporters requested government intervention to regulate cotton yarn exports. Rising yarn prices are significantly hurting the industry's global competitiveness. Limited stock and increased demand from countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam contribute. Higher manufacturing costs affect opportunities in new free trade agreement markets. Value addition through finished garments offers greater economic benefits than raw materials.
