ISLAMABAD, Nov 24 (APP):Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan will inaugurate the 3rd International Food and Agriculture Exhibition – FoodAg 2025 at the Expo Centre Karachi on Tuesday.
The three- day exhibition is scheduled from November 25–27 under the theme “Harvesting Innovation, Cultivating Sustainability” to feature more than 350 leading Pakistani exporters.
The exporters will showcase the country’s finest Basmati rice, dehydrated mangoes, kinnows, dates, Himalayan pink salt, premium seafood, halal meat and dairy products, spices and value-added foods to over 800 pre-qualified international buyers from more than 80 countries – the largest buyer delegation ever hosted by Pakistan for a single trade event, said a news release.
In his message on the occasion, Jam Kamal Khan said, “Pakistan’s diverse agro-climatic zones and the government’s focused policies under the Prime Minister’s aggressive market-opening diplomacy – is transforming us from a large producer into a leading branded supplier.
FoodAg 2025, with this historic gathering of serious international buyers under one roof, is clear proof that the strategy is delivering results.”
Faiz Ahmad, Chief Executive Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) said, “We are not just hosting an exhibition; we are opening the doors to Pakistan’s abundant harvest and our unbreakable commitment to feeding the world reliably and sustainably. In just three years, FoodAg has become the region’s most important food-trade platform because
Pakistan delivers – never once restricting food exports even in the toughest years.
With thousands of pre-scheduled B2B meetings taking place over the next three days, we expect business generation to exceed USD 1 billion, creating thousands of jobs and long-term partnerships that will benefit farmers and exporters across the country.”
The record buyer delegation includes top importers from Asia (over 300, led by major Chinese state and private companies, Malaysia’s BERNAS, Indonesia’s PT Laris Manis Utama and Sri Lankan conglomerates), Europe (Surya Foods – Europe’s largest basmati buyer, AIB Foods, Aytac Foods, Schepens & Co Belgium and Migros Türkiye), the Middle East and GCC (Mercury Me DMCC, Sunder Trading Qatar, D Ocean Fisheries Bahrain), Africa (over 200 buyers from Kenya, Somalia, Cameroon, Angola, Rwanda, Mauritius and others), as well as key players from Australia, Canada, USA and Russia.
Thousands of pre-arranged B2B meetings, nine high-level conferences on sustainability and traceability, and a spectacular Pakistan Cuisine Pavilion featuring 21 celebrity chefs from five continents cooking live using only Pakistani ingredients will make FoodAg 2025 a landmark event expected to generate more than USD 1 billion in export business.
