Karachi: Exports of food grains from Pakistan has increased by $4 billion.
Pakistan's food industry is not only meeting the domestic needs, but it has also earned $4 billion in foreign exchange. The exported products include rice, meat, fruits and other items.
Industrialists stated that the cost of production has increased due to high prices of electricity and gas, better results can be achieved by reducing the prices of electricity and gas.
Exporters added that in order to increase exports of food products, along with reducing energy costs, new markets will have to be found.
Industrialists and exporters continued to say that if the government cooperates with the food industry, it will not only create employment opportunities in the country, but also reduce the shortage of dollars by increasing exports and it is the only way to get rid of International Monetary Fund (IMF).
