Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) Secretary Sheryar Taj has announced initiatives to boost exports through agricultural value addition, digital trade facilitation, preferential market access and stronger public-private partnerships and stressed that Pakistan must move beyond raw commodity exports to maximise its trade potential.
Speaking during his visit to the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI), he highlighted TDAP's Preferential Trade Access Database, which consolidated 29 trade arrangements covering 93 countries, enabling exporters to identify available tariff concessions by entering a product's HS code. TDAP will also organise training sessions at KCCI to help members utilise the platform.
The secretary said the digitisation of Certificates of Origin had enabled TDAP to issue around 40,000 certificates in its first full year, benefiting approximately 12,000 exporters, saving Rs10 million in annual form-related costs and generating around Rs80 million in revenue. He announced that the fourth FoodAg exhibition would be held in Karachi from November 23-26, featuring around 360 companies.
