ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is set to open its largest international food and agriculture exhibition in Karachi tomorrow, the commerce ministry said on Monday, aiming to secure Rs282.25 billion ($1 billion) in export deals.
More than 350 Pakistani firms will showcase their products to over 800 potential buyers from more than 80 countries, including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, at the 3rd International Food & Agriculture Exhibition (FoodAg 2025), themed as “Harvesting Innovation, Cultivating Sustainability.”
Pakistani exporters will present the country’s finest Basmati rice, dehydrated mangoes, kinnows, dates, Himalayan pink salt, premium seafood, halal meat and dairy products along with spices and value-added foods at the three-day event, according to the commerce ministry.
“With thousands of pre-scheduled B2B (business-to-business) meetings taking place over the next three days, we expect business generation to exceed $1 billion, creating thousands of jobs and long-term partnerships that will benefit farmers and exporters across the country,” Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) Chief Executive Faiz Ahmad was quoted as saying by the ministry.
The commerce ministry said it is not just hosting an exhibition, but opening the doors to “Pakistan’s abundant harvest and our unbreakable commitment to feeding the world reliably and sustainably.”
