BEIJING, Apr 21 :Pakistan\u2019s salt exports to China witnessed a significant increase in the first quarter of 2025, rising by 40% compared to the same period last year, according to the latest data from the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC).<\/p>\n

Ghulam Qadir, Trade and Investment Counsellor of Pakistan\u2019s Embassy in Beijing told China Economic Net that from January to March 2025, Pakistan exported over 13.64 million kilograms of salt to China worth $1.83 million, whereas last year in the same period it was $1.30 million.
\nThe sharp increase highlights the growing trade cooperation between the two countries under the framework of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and reflects China\u2019s rising demand for high-quality industrial and edible salt.
\nHe said Pakistan is exporting salt to China under three categories, edible salt, pure sodium chloride and other salt.
\nIndustry experts attribute Pakistan\u2019s export growth to improved logistics, competitive pricing, and enhanced quality standards adopted by Pakistani exporters. The rise in salt export is also driven by China\u2019s increasing industrial consumption, particularly in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing sectors.
\n\u201cThis surge is a testament to Pakistan\u2019s expanding capacity to meet international market demands, and a positive sign for diversifying our exports to China,\u201d said a senior official from the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
