Cotton Textile
Introduction
60% of exports
Main areas; Karachi, Hyderabad, Multan, Quetta and Faisalabad.

It utilizes local raw material thus increasing farmer's income
Disadvantages
Strong competition from Taiwan, Egypt & South Korea.
Water shortage for manufacturing due to conflict with other users
Child Labour, environmental issues & terrorism causes the industry to close
Problems of pest attack / climate problems/ poor harvest

Cement industry
Introduction
Limestone, sulphur, gypsum locally available, good domestic market & natural gas is available as cheap fuel
Pakistan has insufficient timber for construction so use cement in some other parts, because steel industry is small
Main areas are Daud Khel, Kohat, Karachi and Hyderabad.
Importance of cement to the development of Karachi
High demand in construction industry of dams, barrages, bridges, underpasses, roads, lining canals, houses,
factories, hotel, etc.
Used to make infrastructure (better roads for transport & better bridges for easy access)
A stronger building material, which is long lasting & more durable and has a modern appearance.
Improving slums & squatter settlement.

Fertilizer industry
Introduction
Natural gas as fuel
Phosphate , Sulphur and gypsum are locally available
PAFF in 1979
Main areas are Multan, Faisalabad, Sukkur & Haripur
Benefit of increasing fertilizer production for the people
Higher yields as there is more food production rate
Reduces imports of fertilizer or improved Balance of Payment
Less debt & Higher farm incomes / profit
More jobs

Sugar mills
Sugar cane must be crushed quickly after cutting as it looses its weight rapidly, thus reduces sugar content.
It keeps down transport cost because sugar cane is bulky therefore expensive.

Main areas are Thatta, Faisalabad, Peshawer & Bahawalpur

Pakistan Steel Mill Cooperation (Karachi at Pipri)


Raw material include imported (Manganese, coking Coal & iron ore) & locally produced (Limestone, coal & water;
Haleji River). Outputs include raw steel, rolled and cast bullets, pig iron, coke & galvanized metals.
Heavy Mechanised Complex Taxila (with the help of China)
It is a heavy engineering center. The inputs are outputs of steels. While the outputs include agricultural machinery,
equipment for HEP & thermal power plants, boilers, cranes, construction machinery and railway equipment.
Heavy Forge Factory at this complex has proved crucial for Pakistan’s defence production needs.
Why was Pipri chosen for steel mills?
Site
Flat, cheap & unused land
Natural routes
Port Qasim
Capital
Invested by USSR
Energy
Pipri TPS (21%)
Korangi TPS (15%)
KANUPP
Labour

Markets
Karachi & over half in Punjab
Transport
Karachi-Kotri Railway
Advantages & Disadvantages of Steel Mills
Advantages
Employment opportunities
Rise in GDP
Improved BOP
Industrialization
Disadvantages

Industrial Estates S.I.T.E (Sindh Industrial Trading Estates) Karachi


Industrial estates are special areas reserved for industries. The government offers incentives:
➢ Exemption from customs or imported machinery
➢ Tax holidays
➢ Electricity / power supply
➢ Better roads
➢ Private power stations are allowed
➢ Simplified procedures
➢ Infrastructural requirements
Why choose industrial estate?
➢ Employment as increase in GDP/GNP so increases national income
➢ Positive BOP so it stimulates economic growth
➢ Attracts more investors
➢ Development of infrastructure e.g. roads, power, telecommunication
➢ But
➢ Lack of investment (investors might not come due to changing government policies)
➢ Lack of skilled labour due to high illiteracy
