Pakistan Expands Export Reach with 600+ Firms Registered in China
More than 600 Pakistani companies have now been registered with Chinese authorities, underscoring Pakistan’s expanding export footprint and growing trade integration with China. These registrations span a wide range of sectors — from agriculture to industrial goods — reflecting the strength of Pakistan’s export diversification strategy.
According to Wealth Pakistan, the registrations include 25 mango hot water treatment plants, 21 citrus cold treatment facilities, and 103 rice companies approved by China’s General Administration of Customs (GACC). Additionally, 15 rapeseed meal firms, 106 cherry exporters, 175 seafood companies, 185 sesame seed processors, 10 fish meal producers, and seven defatted bone companies have successfully completed the process, while several other sectors are currently under review.
The inclusion of new export categories — such as onions, donkey hides, and dairy products — demonstrates Pakistan’s intent to widen its export portfolio to meet China’s growing market demand. The Commercial Mission of Pakistan in China has played a pivotal role in facilitating these approvals by liaising between Pakistani exporters, chambers of commerce, and local Chinese authorities.
Through strategic support, the Mission has enabled over 10 Pakistani enterprises to join major Chinese e-commerce platforms, including Douyin and JD.com, allowing the online sale of products like pink salt, pine nuts, jewellery, rice, carpets, and handicrafts. It also assists exporters by providing guidance on import regulations, port clearance procedures, and Chinese trade policies — handling around five trade and investment queries each month.
Moreover, close collaboration between the Commercial Mission, the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), the Board of Investment (BOI), and the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad ensures smoother visa facilitation for exporters and business delegations. This coordinated approach, coupled with the increasing number of company registrations, highlights growing confidence between Chinese importers and Pakistani exporters.
This momentum not only enhances Pakistan’s visibility in China’s vast consumer market but also reinforces bilateral efforts to strengthen trade and investment cooperation under the evolving China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework.
