SIALKOT: The garments manufacturers have asked the government to set up a permanent display centre with the name of “Pakistan Trade House” in Dubai to promote export products in international market.
Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) spokesman Ijaz A Khokhar raised this demand, while talking to the state-owned news agency.
Ijaz said the government should announce special incentives for research and development enabling the SMEs for up-gradation of machinery, innovation of new products and the compliance of issues. At this juncture there was a need of formulating a aggressive marketing plan for garment export to gain the maximum benefits of the GSP status, he said.
Ijaz said a high powered committee comprising on public and private sector in the name of “Garment Export Promotion Council” should be constituted for monitoring all garment exports activity and policy making for maximizing exports. He said there was a great need of setting up product development and packaging centre in universities aimed at involving graduate students to help industry to improve the product line and packaging for better price.
