LAHORE:

A delegation of leading Pakistani food exporters, led by Saifur Rehman, Coordinator to the Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO), departed for Dubai on Tuesday at the invitation of UAE investors to explore avenues of collaboration and joint ventures in the food sector, particularly in the export of internationally competitive Pakistani snacks.

In a statement issued prior to departure, Rehman said the delegation would hold a series of business-to-business (B2B) meetings with prominent Emirati investors, food chain representatives, and wholesale market leaders. The discussions will focus on promoting Pakistan's high-quality snack products and other value-added food items that have gained recognition in global markets for their distinctive taste, hygiene standards, and affordability.

He said that the Convener of the FPCCI Regional Committee on Food, Shahid Imran, is also accompanying the delegation to finalise on-the-spot understandings with counterparts in Dubai.

Rehman added that the delegation would explore opportunities for long-term supply contracts, joint manufacturing facilities, and regional distribution networks to meet demand in the UAE and the Gulf region. Leading business forums in Dubai have assured full cooperation to facilitate these meetings.
