Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association (PCGA) has urged upon the Government to approve the Cotton seed act and Breeders Proprietary Rights act forthwith to protect the interest of the growers who had suffered a huge loss of Rs 40 billion at the hands of unscrupulous elements. 
 
Addressing a press conference here Chairman of PCGA Nawab Shehzad Ali Khan along with Chairman of ginners group Haji Muhammad Akram said that it was a national tragedy that Pakistan's cotton production has fallen by 40 percent. 
 
Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association (PCGA) has protested on submitting anti ginners as well as growers recommendation to ministry of Finance regarding a concession package for the revival of agriculture sector. 
 
Chairman of PCGA Nawab Shehzad Ali Khan has urged upon the Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to constitute special task force to find the causes of less production and revival of cotton growers who were highly depressed due to less production and unfair return of their produce. 
 
Criticising the role of Ministry of Textile Industry of Pakistan, he said that it did nothing to support the stake holders particularly growers and it failed to introduce a viable cotton policy while cotton contributes 8.5% to GDP. He said that no meeting was convened during the last four months while the country was facing severe cotton crisis. Now meeting was being convened on January 22, 2015 after Ninth September's meeting.
