LAHORE:

The Pakistan Carpet Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PCMAEA) has stressed the need for re-formulation of the policies in the economic and other relevant fields in consultation with the stakeholders for effective and speedy measures to enhance the exports volume and revenue of the country.

Talking to the media on Sunday, the association's senior vice chairman Usman Ashraf said there was a dire need to remove unnecessary obstacles and reduce the cost of agricultural and industrial production to ensure an export-led economy.

He suggested that in order to increase the exports, a study of regional and other countries should be conducted and export promotion responsibilities should be assigned to Pakistani embassies by giving the commercial attachés export targets.

He said were pavilions of different countries at the superstores at the major airports of the world, where their products were displayed and Pakistan should also follow such business promotion strategies.

Usman Ashraf called for better use of social media tools to help increase exports.

“A system should be evolved under one roof for all exporters and fresh graduates can also market Pakistani products as well as conduct research studies to get aware of the trends in different countries,” he added.
