Pakistan to Export Surplus Food to Gulf

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan has directed officials to develop a comprehensive plan for exporting surplus food items to Gulf countries. This initiative aims to capitalize on disruptions in global supply chains, which have increased the demand for Pakistani products in the region. The plan emphasizes maintaining high-quality standards for exports and ensuring Pakistan's domestic food security. The Pakistan National Shipping Corporation has been instructed to facilitate maritime exports. A committee will be formed to monitor the situation daily, and Pakistani ambassadors and trade officers in Gulf countries are tasked with actively promoting exports. The agricultural sector of Pakistan, including crops, meat, poultry, dairy, and seafood, has been identified as having significant export potential.
