Dubai (Web Desk): Pakistani exporters failed to get a single order for non-basmati rice export to Gulf countries due to high prices of the commodity as compared to prices in Indian, Vietnamese, and Thailand.
According to details, Pakistan’s rice exporters participated in Dubai’s ‘Gulfood Exhibition’ but did not succeed in getting a single order for non-basmati rice.
"We are unable to compete Indian, Vietnamese, and Thai rice as their price is relatively lower as compared with Pakistani rice," Rice Export Association of Pakistan chairman said. Export orders will be acquired only when price of our product is lower than same product of other countries, he added.
