First Honey Shipment from KP Heads to Malaysia  

The first consignment of Sider honey from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been shipped to Malaysia, signaling a shift from traditional Middle Eastern markets.  The Trade Mission at the High Commission of Pakistan in Kuala Lumpur, operating under Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan’s directive, played a critical role in facilitating connections between Malaysian companies and Pakistani producers.  This effort was notably evident during the Second International Agriculture and food Exhibition in Karachi from August 9 to 11, 2024, where the seeds of future trade deals were sown.  The shipment marks a new chapter in Pakistan-Malaysia trade relations, promising further economic cooperation.  This first consignment is seen as a gateway for future exports of diverse Pakistani agricultural products, signaling a promising path for strengthened trade links.  Both Pakistani and Malaysian stakeholders are optimistic that continued collaboration will enhance mutual economic growth and forge deeper ties between the two nations.
