PKR Million in February of 2013 from

Major Imports of Pakistan:

Textile Machinery
Agriculture Machinery
Silk Yarn
Iron
Rubber

 The

best way for textile export promotion

for Pakistan was to use latest machinery
for a better place in the global market.

 The

major contribution in GDP is of

Agriculture so Pakistan needs latest
machinery for the efficient cultivation of
agro products

 Pakistan's are many varieties and shades of wild

silk. Tussah is generally stronger and more

resilient than cultivated "white" silk.

 As

the infrastructure of Pakistan needs to

bee developed so Pakistan needs to import
iron. Rail tracks, rail bogies, aero-planes,
ships, motor cars, bridge dams, tunnels
and pipe lines required iron and steel.

 Pakistan

imports rubber from Malaysia.

Imports partners of Pakistan

Pakistans

imports are highly concentrated in

few countries. Over 40 percent of them
continue to originate from different countries
namely, the USA, Japan, Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia, Germany, UK, UAE, China, India and
Malaysia.
Saudi Arabia is emerging as major supplier to
Pakistan followed by the USA and Japan.

The shares of USA and Japan, with some

fluctuations, exhibited a declining trend because of
the shift in the import of machinery/capital goods
and raw materials to other sources.

On the other hand, the share of Pakistans imports

from Saudi Arabia has been rising due to higher
imports of POL products. Malaysia share has
shown rising, as well as, falling trends over the
years mainly on account of fluctuations in palm oil
prices.

 The

United States is largest export market

for Pakistan, accounting for 28.4 percent
of its exports followed by UK and

for Pakistan as its share in total exports
has been on decline for one decade,
reaching less than one percent from 5.7

obsolete use of machinery and technology
higher wastage of inputs adding to the cost of
production,
low labor productivity,
Little spending on research and development,
lack of marketing techniques
