Talking about the challenges being faced by fisheries’ exporters that are stagnating the sector’s export growth, the PAKFEA chairman said efforts should be made by the government to exploit the potential that exists in Sindh and especially Balochistan. Concerted efforts by the government can boost the exports of Pakistan in the fisheries sector.
