PM Shehbaz tells representatives to expedite export of excess food items to Gulf countries
Premier Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday directed representatives to accelerate the export of excess food items to Gulf countries while ensuring an uninterrupted domestic provision, and called for a comprehensive strategy to expand flight operations and enhance port efficiency in view of the evolving regional condition.
The directives came as the premier chaired a senior session to evaluate the export of food items to the Middle East and Pakistan’s port and maritime operations, according to a handout by the Premier’s Office (PMO).
During the session, the premier was informed that a functional group had approved 40 food items for exporting to Gulf countries amid the current regional condition.
It should be observed that earlier, PM Shehbaz issued directives for the formulation of a strategy for exporting excess food items to Gulf countries while making sure that Pakistan’s nutritional needs were not affected.
The session on Wednesday was also briefed on the measures taken regarding the matter.
“These (food items) include rice, edible oil, sugar, meat, poultry, powdered milk, dairy products, fruits and vegetables,” the handout stated, adding open sea and air routes would be used for exporting food items, with no additional allegations for the export of vegetables, fruits and meat.
