Industry

Major Industries

  • Cotton Ginning and Pressing
  • Flour Mills
  • Oil Mills
  • Sugar

A polypropylene woven bags/cotton bags making unit can be established to meet the packing requirement of the sugar mill. However, there exists good scope for paper and paper board mill on the basis of availability of bagasse and for poultry/cattle feed mill because basic raw-material i.e. molasses, guar meal, slaughter house waste, etc. are locally available.

Demand Based Industry

As Layyah is one of least industrialized districts of Punjab, therefore, it is appropriate that such industries may be established which can sell their products easily in the local market such as Niwar making, Laundry Soap, Tyre retreading, Cattle/Sheep/Goats Fattening Farms, Cold Storage, Biscuits, Steel Furniture, Electrical Accessories like Plugs, Switches, Boards, etc. Sewing Machines and Desert Coolers can also be manufactured by purchasing major electrical/mechanical parts from the manufacturers of other districts.
