The effect of Non-cooperation on the economic front were more dramatic.

Foreign goods were boycotted, liquor shops picketed and foreign cloth burnt in huge bonfires. The import of foreign cloth reduced to half between 1921 and 1922, it's value droped from Rs.102 crore to Rs. 51 crore. In many places, merchants and traders refused to trade in foreign goods or finance foreign trade. As the boycott movement spread throughout the country, people began to discard imported cloths and started wearing only Indian weaved cloths, production of Indian textile mills and handlooms went up.
