Sri Lanka Makes First Pineapple Export to Pakistan to Tap New Market

Consumer Non-Durables · Food: Specialty/Candy · yonhap_finance · 2026-08-25

Sri Lanka has successfully initiated its first pineapple shipment to Pakistan, aiming to leverage superior quality and proximity to capture market share.

What Happened

Export Milestone: Sri Lanka has officially commenced its first-ever export of pineapples to Pakistan. The shipment, handled by exporter C R Exports, marks a significant step in diversifying the island nation's agricultural trade.

Regulatory Alignment: The trade was made possible after both nations established rigorous sanitary and phytosanitary inspection protocols. This regulatory framework ensures that Sri Lankan produce meets the necessary standards for the Pakistani market.

Market Potential: Pakistan currently imports thousands of tons of pineapples annually, primarily from Thailand and the Philippines. Sri Lankan officials believe their product's superior freshness and shorter transit times will allow them to gain a competitive foothold in the region.

Trade Relations: While the two countries have an existing Free Trade Agreement, bilateral trade volume remains below its full potential. This new agricultural partnership is expected to boost overall trade figures and encourage the export of other fruits like avocados and oranges.
