Cotton, known as "white gold", is Pakistan's major foreign exchange earner and almost 60 percent of the country's direct and indirect exports depend on this important crop. This year In Sindh, Hyderabad, Nawabshah and Mirpurkhas produced 4 lakhs, 3,71,000 and 3,84,000 bales respectively. Sanghar, now the country's largest cotton-growing area, has cultivated cotton crop over 0.135 million acres. This year, the farm value of Sanghar cotton and cottonseed production is approximately Rs 40 billion.
Locals demand that like gas and oil, cotton royalty should be awarded for the social sector upgradation programmes of the production area. If provided only one percent of its share, Sanghar could get Rs 40 million, which is badly needed in district like Sanghar.
