Pakistan to Export 60,000 Tonnes of Rice to China in 2026-27 Fiscal Year
Pakistan plans to export 60,000 tonnes of rice to China's Guangzhou and Shenzhen provinces in the 2026-27 fiscal year, according to the Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP). The deal, potentially worth USD 300 to 400 million, marks a significant increase from the USD 124 million rice exports to China in 2025-26. A REAP delegation is visiting China to finalize agreements. This expansion aims to boost Pakistan's foreign exchange earnings and diversify its export markets, with both Basmati and non-Basmati rice included.
