■ India has a large share in the world trade of cotton yarn, accounting for one fourth of the total trade.

■ However, India trade in garments is only 4 percent of the world's total.

■ Spining mills in india are competitive at the global level and capable of using all the fibres we produce.

■ The weaving,Knitting & processing unit cannot use much of the high quality yarn that is produce in the country.

■ There are some large and modern factories in these segment, but most of the production is in fragmented small units,which cater to the local market.

■ This mismatch is a major drawback for the industry.

Answer 2

Answer: Some major drawbacks of cotton textile industries are as follows-

1. Old and obsolete machinery and technology of production which slows down the production rate.
2. Severe competition from synthetic fibres which are cheaper and easy to maintain.
3. It being an agro-based industry is exposed to the vagaries of nature. So if any year there is a crop failure. The supply of raw cotton gets affected.
