Iran Shows Interest in Importing Meat and Rice from Pakistan
In a recent meeting between the ambassador of Iran to Pakistan, Dr. Reza Amiri Moghaddam, and the Federal Minister for Industry and Production and Food Security, Rana Tanveer, Iran expressed its interest in importing meat, rice, and other agricultural products from Pakistan. Both countries discussed bilateral cooperation and matters of mutual interest.
During the meeting, Federal Minister Rana Tanveer emphasized the strong relationship between Pakistan and Iran as neighboring and brotherly countries. He also highlighted the potential for increased industrial cooperation between the two nations. The development of the industry and agriculture sectors has been prioritized on the instructions of Prime Minister Shehbaz.
The Federal Minister further stated that Iran is keen to import more meat, rice, and agricultural products from Pakistan, particularly citrus fruits. Pakistani citrus is highly favored by the Iranian people. As a sign of growing cooperation, an MoU on livestock quarantine and plant protection is expected to be signed during the upcoming visit of the Iranian President to Pakistan.
In a show of friendship, Federal Minister Rana Tanveer has been invited to visit Tehran for the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting. The Minister gladly accepted the invitation, further strengthening the ties between the two countries.
This development is significant for Pakistan’s rice exporters, as increased imports from Iran can create new opportunities in the rice trade industry. Rice suppliers in Pakistan, such as Pakistan Rice Exporters, can benefit from the growing demand for rice in Iran. With their expertise and high-quality products, Pakistani rice companies have the potential to tap into the Iranian market.
In conclusion, Iran’s interest in importing meat, rice, and agricultural products from Pakistan highlights the strong bilateral relationship between the two countries. The potential for increased industrial cooperation and the signing of an MoU on livestock quarantine and plant protection further solidifies this bond. This development opens up new opportunities for rice exporters in Pakistan, such as those from Has Rice, to expand their business and cater to the growing demand in Iran.
