This sustained demand contributed to the growth in Pakistan&#8217;s rice exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the first quarter of fiscal year 2026-27, covering July to September 2026, Pakistan&#8217;s total rice export volume increased by 51 percent compared with the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign exchange earnings from rice exports also recorded a 37 percent increase during the same period, reflecting growing international demand for Pakistani rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Economic experts believe that the growth in rice exports could become an important source of foreign exchange earnings for Pakistan. However, they emphasize that improving product quality, reducing production costs and strengthening export logistics will be essential to maintaining the country&#8217;s competitiveness in the global rice market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has recorded a significant increase in rice exports despite rising tensions in the Gulf region and disruptions to international shipping routes, surpassing Vietnam in monthly rice export volumes&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8017,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[35,2800],"class_list":["post-8016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","tag-pakistan","tag-rice-export"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
