Cotton, known as 'white gold', is an important cash crop in Pakistan. The Pakistani cotton industry is a vital component of the country's economy, accounting for 1.6 % of Gross Domestic Product. Cotton was cultivated on an area of 3.19 million hectares, with production of 11.7 million bales for the year 2008-09.

The major problems facing the country's cotton sector include the absence of a recognized and scientifically devised standardized quality control system, inappropriate marketing practices and fluctuating marketing arrivals.

The descriptive statistics was used to calculate the frequencies and percentage of sample
