KARACHI:
Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Senior Vice President Abdul Rahim Janoo has emphasised the need of increasing rice exports to China since there is a great demand for it. Pakistan exported 353,675 tons of rice to China amounting to $128 million during the last fiscal year. “Pakistani rice is very much liked around the globe due to its taste and quality, and we can take advantage of the good relations between Pakistan and China.” He was of the view that there is a potential to export 600,000 to 700,000 tons to China. “We are hopeful that the Chinese government will consider importing an additional 200,000 tons of Pakistani rice as it is also importing a huge quantity from other countries.”
