A report out of India claims that over 100,000 kg of human hair, valued at USD 132,000, has been exported to China from Pakistan over the past five years.

 

一份来自印度的报告称，最近5年来，有超过10万公斤、价值13.2万美元的人类头发从巴基斯坦出口到中国。

 

The report in the Hindustan Times says figures from Pakistan's Ministry¹ of Commerce and Textile show that 105,461 kg of human hair was exported to China from 2013 to 2018.

 

Citing a local wig² maker³ in Pakistan, the report says demand for human hair has increased in China due to growth in the makeup⁴ industry. He says Pakistani hair is bought at an average rate of Rs 5,000 or Rs 6,000 per kg.

 

In addition, high quality hair from Pakistan is also exported to the United States and Japan, which also have high demand due to their own entertainment industries.
