BUCE expects to attract suppliers from Pakistan to import substitution site
The Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange (BUCE) plans to expand the geography of manufacturers of import-substituting products presented on its trading platform due to Pakistani companies interested in creating a trading or manufacturing business in our country. With the assistance of the National Investment and Privatisation Agency, a meeting took place at the BUCE central office with Director of the Pakistan’s Afil Industries Holding Imran Chawla.
Afil Industries is studying the possibility of implementing an investment project in Belarus for the production of food products, and also intends to establish regular wholesale deliveries of Pakistani products that are in demand on the Belarusian market.
“In addition to organising production, we would like to develop a trading business here. If we talk about particular products, then first of all these are various types of rice, which is considered the hallmark of Pakistan, as well as leather products for the sports industry: soccer balls, gloves, belts, etc. Moreover, we’re ready to supply such a specific product as Himalayan salt to your country. Our company boasts extensive experience in export activities, and when entering a new market, we always choose the shortest path with the least risk. We hope that with the help of the exchange we will be able to find buyers and build an effective sales system,” said the Pakistani businessman.
