Pakistan boosts agricultural exports with record rice revenues and tractor trade
Pakistan’s agricultural export sector is gaining momentum, with significant achievements driven by the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC). In a notable development, Pakistan has entered the East African market by exporting tractors to Tanzania. The first consignment was successfully delivered in collaboration with Masai Trekta Company, a Kenya-Tanzania-based firm, signaling Pakistan’s growing global trade ambitions.
Highlighting another milestone, Pakistan’s rice exports reached an unprecedented $4 billion in revenue during the fiscal year 2024. This historic achievement underscores the effectiveness of SIFC’s efforts in promoting the agricultural sector and enhancing its export potential.
