Pakistan May Be a Country with Low Attention Compared with Other Asian Countries So Far, Due to Geographically Far Distance and Some Security Issues
Introduction It seems that many Japanese companies have recently accelerated the overseas production transfer and diversification of supplier sources in Asian countries besides China in a strategic trend of so-called “China Plus One”. For Japanese companies, Pakistan may be a country with low attention compared with other Asian countries so far, due to geographically far distance and some security issues. However, we believe that the time has come to you to reconsider Pakistan as the 4th-largest cotton producing country with population of 180 million, which belongs to NEXT 11 following BRICS. Until now, you may face some difficulties of collecting appropriate information in Japan about Pakistani business and companies although you are interested to know more. Taking consideration of such circumstance, we, Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), are pleased to introduce this introduction summary of Pakistani exporters for Japan to you with assistance of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). TDAP considers five categorized products as strategically major target items for exporting to Japan, i.e. Textile Products ( home textile and denim related garments, especially), Leather &Leather Products, Agricultural & Marine Products, Surgical Instruments, and Sports Goods. In these target items, we have selected promising exporters for Japan from the following criteria: 1) ones top-ranked of each target item based on a statistic list of Pakistani exporters having business with Japan, 2) ones exhibited in Pakistan EXPO, and 3) ones recommended by industrial parties concerned. This booklet introduces promising exporters selected by the above criteria with priority of those which accepted TDAP’s interview. Although this is our first attempt to publish for Japan, it would be our pleasure if this booklet would help you to consider more business deals with our exporters positively.
