Islamabad, [Date] — In a significant move to bolster trade relations, Pakistan’s Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) has granted conditional approval for the export of 40,000 tonnes of sugar to Tajikistan. This decision aims to support the local sugar industry while addressing Tajikistan’s growing demand for the commodity.
The approval comes as part of Pakistan’s strategy to enhance its agricultural exports and improve foreign exchange reserves. Officials have indicated that the export will be facilitated under strict quality control measures to ensure compliance with international standards.
Economic analysts believe this trade agreement could pave the way for future exports, further strengthening economic ties between the two nations. The Ministry of Commerce is expected to outline the logistics and timeline for the shipment soon.
As the global sugar market continues to fluctuate, this export is seen as a vital opportunity for Pakistan’s sugar producers, who have faced challenges in recent years due to domestic oversupply and fluctuating prices.
Both countries are optimistic about the potential for increased collaboration in the agricultural sector, with this export serving as a foundation for future agreements.
