Pakistan’s export sector has recorded a noticeable upswing, with total earnings reaching $29.56 billion during the first eleven months of the ongoing financial year, reflecting a 5.15% growth over the same timeframe last year.
According to official trade data, this performance reflects an additional $1.44 billion in export revenue compared to the figures reported during July to May of the previous year.
The steady rise highlights positive momentum in external trade, with several industries contributing to the upward trend.
The textile industry maintained its position as the largest contributor, posting overseas sales worth $16.36 billion—a 7.37% improvement over last year’s numbers.
Apart from textiles, Pakistan witnessed stronger international demand for a variety of goods, including Basmati rice, seafood, tobacco, and sugar.
Notably, sugar exports showed substantial activity during this period. From July to May, approximately 765,000 metric tonnes were shipped abroad, generating $411 million in foreign exchange earnings.
The continuous growth in export figures underscores the resilience of Pakistan’s trade sector amid global economic challenges.
