Realizing the responsibility on the shoulders of each member of PCFA, we endeavor to be one of the most competitive Associations in the industry with emphasis on efficiency in operations, reliability and thrust on discovery and development of New Fashion and manufacturing technologies.

We are a Association, which was cradled by the most arduous and sincere entrepreneur in the country, benefited with the support of the flourishing economy of the state and the presence of a diligent citizenry eager to attain success.

The success and eminence of Pakistan Cotton Fashion Apparel Manufacture exporters Association (PCFA) began as the dream of one man extended to be transformed into the dream of many. We strive to accomplish our dreams and goals to bring greater effulgence in the future."

We are trying to seek advantages in the quality of our market, access to the leading consumers of cotton and fashion apparel. In the post quota era, we must use the World Trade Organization regulations to our benefit and ensure that measures other countries are taking to boost their respective industries are WTO compliant. Pakistan operates under some of the lowest tariffs in the region but we must continue to develop bilateral trade agreements to give us preferential market access. 60% of the world trade is still conducted under bilateral arrangements.

We must appreciate the hectic efforts of our commerce Minister in getting preferential market access for Pakistani products into major markets like the U.S. & E.U. Pakistan has also assumed leadership at the W.T.O. negotiations in Hong Kong getting critical protection from the threat from countries with duty free & quota free access.

With a growing exportable surplus, our existing road and rail infrastructure will soon be inadequate to transport our exportable surplus from upcountry industry clusters. We also need to streamline passage to our ports. We must ensure that our trade corridor is developed as soon as possible and as efficiently as possible.

Pakistan is one of the leading cotton and Fashion apparel manufacturers in the world. However, our value-added sectors, particularly apparel and knitted clothing have a very small share in the world trade. These sectors are also suffering from the intense competition from China, India and Bangladesh. We at PCFA, feel these are the real growth sectors of our export and we must continue to support them so that they can multiply our export earnings and even more importantly, provide critical jobs in Pakistan.
