American Buyers Still Like To Buy Pakistan Clothing.

The cost difference can be as high as 25%.

For example, a hooded sweater costs 12 US dollars in China and costs US $9-10 in Pakistan.

Similarly, a pair of jeans costs 10 US dollars in China and costs US $8-8.5 in Pakistan.

This is why, explains EdwardHertzman, director of global collaborative business development at global sourcing company.

Pakistan's labor costs are lower than those of China, India and Vietnam, and its company made an order of $75 million last year to Pakistan textile company.

Hertzman said that unlike Bangladesh, Pakistan has its own supply of cotton and fabric, and there are more small and medium-sized factories.

Therefore, small quantities can be accepted.

The global co ordinated representatives represent about 35 European and US brands. In addition to factories in India, China and Bangladesh, there are 80 factories in Pakistan.

The top US brands currently outsource clothing manufacturing businesses in Pakistan, including the AmericanEagle, Abercrombie&Fitch, Hollister (Hollister), Nike (Nike), mercury (Quicksilver), Cole (Kohls), Sears (Sears), WAL-MART (Wal-Mart), Gap, Old Navy (OldNavy) and Messi (Macys).

Recently, the cost of garment manufacturing in China has increased.

The government raised the minimum wage by 21% in January 2011.

With the increasing strength of RMB in the international market, Chinese products are becoming more and more expensive for foreign buyers.

KhurramKhalid serves the international procurement agency in Karachi. He said China is gradually dropping out of textile production, and the Chinese are smart people.

They know that what really makes money is high technology.

Their economy is growing, so they turn to specialized commodity production.

Pakistan has another advantage over its competitors, especially Bangladesh. Pakistan has good quality products and cotton is grown locally.
