The chairman of the Pakistan Gloves Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PGMEA ) has called for stronger government backing for the industry.

Speaking to reporters earlier this week, chairman Mohammad Yaqoob Shaikh said government help was needed now as the industry was rapidly losing international market share to glovemakers from China, India, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.  Mr Shaikh contrasted the various incentives given to those industries and those provided by the Pakistan government, whose involvement was seen by glovemakers as being more of a hinderance than a help.
