But this scenario brought with its benefit to one segment of the industry – yarn manufactures, as they, now, get higher prices for their products. Some yarn manufacturers too had stocked up on low priced cotton last year. The combined effect of all this is evident in the rise in the net profits and net margin of yarn manufacturers.
