China welcomed its inaugural shipment of fresh aquatic products from Pakistan. This delivery, facilitated through the Kashgar airport situated within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, heralds a new era of perishable goods trade between the two nations.
Transported by a China Southern Airlines aircraft departing from Islamabad, the shipment encompassed 774 kilograms of aquatic goods, appraised at approximately $2,760. Details provided by China Economic Net reveal the cargo included 81 kilograms of fresh grouper, valued at $744, and 693 kilograms of frozen mullet, priced at $2,016.
Oversight for this logistical feat was provided by Xinjiang Huizhou Import and Export Trading, sourcing the aquatic selection from Karachi. Tang Lin, a spokesperson for the company, remarked on the transportation duration to Kashgar, spanning roughly three days.
Tang’s enthusiasm about future transactions was palpable, as he remarked, “The successful entry of this batch of fresh aquatic products boosts our confidence in expanding this type of business. We plan to import more fresh products based on Pakistan’s fishing seasons.” This transaction marks Kashgar’s premiere importation of fresh aquatic products from Pakistan, underscoring a pivotal development.
The Bureau of Commerce in Kashgar recognized this milestone, pointing out the strategic importance of importing exemplary agricultural and sideline products from proximate nations to fortify local trade alliances with Central and South Asia—a critical component for regional economic fortification.
This development not only fosters the economic integration between Pakistan and China but also sets a precedent for future trade initiatives, potentially catalyzing economic growth and regional prosperity through sustained bilateral collaboration.
