The majority of cotton produced in Pakistan is of the short-staple variety, although some long-staple varieties are also grown. The majority of cotton produced in Pakistan is used domestically, while a small portion is exported to other countries.

Cotton is grown in all four provinces of Pakistan, with the Punjab province being the largest producer. Cotton is grown in the central and southern regions of the country and is cultivated by small-scale farmers. The majority of cotton production in Pakistan takes place during the months of October to April.
