Call to Action: Pakistan Needs a Stronger Presence at Global Trade Fairs
While Pakistan’s participation at Fruit Logistica 2025 was notable, it remains far behind other emerging markets like Egypt, Turkey, and China, which had significantly larger exhibitor representation.
To boost Pakistan’s fresh produce exports, organizations like PFVEA (Pakistan Fruit & Vegetable Exporters Association) and TDAP (Trade Development Authority of Pakistan) must take proactive steps, including:
✅ Encouraging more Pakistani companies to exhibit at international trade fairs.
✅ Providing financial incentives and subsidies for small and medium-sized exporters.
✅ Investing in better logistics, cold storage, and efficient supply chains.
✅ Launching global marketing campaigns to position Pakistan as a top supplier of fresh produce.
By increasing its exhibitor presence and investing in global trade participation, Pakistan can significantly enhance its fresh produce exports, attract international buyers, and contribute to national economic growth.
Fruit Logistica 2025 was a success—but the journey doesn’t stop here. Pakistan’s fresh produce sector has immense potential, and the time to expand on the global stage is NOW! 🚀🍊🌍
