Working together with Pakistani distributors to adapt new export methods

Since the Netherlands began investing in Pakistan back in 2011, Mr. Azizur Rahman Shaik, Country Head of NED PAK operations in Pakistan, has been frustrated with the slow pace of Pakistani exporters in adapting new export methods, despite all of the new technologies made available to them from all corners of the world by one platform in Pakistan. This is a critical year from the sales point of view for Azizur Rahman Shaik, as Ned-Pak is aggressively building capacity to serve interested and serious exporters.

The introduction of new products for better packaging & logistics has been the core focus of Ned Pak. Two new products have been introduced in 2014: Air Bags to protect pallets during the transportation by sea, along with the introduction of mango cartons packed for air shipments with new technology designed to prevent tampering at airports & supermarkets. This new technology will also be utilized in Australia where they need put mesh over cartons from Pakistan for Fruit Fly protection. This technology will make the goods safer and present a better image for Pakistani Mangoes. Ned-Pak has been persistent in educating the exporters to use trays as a substitute for boxes. Currently, the goods must be packed at the farms supporting retailers requirements as per international standards and Pakistani exporters must follow suit.
