Brussels, (Unib Rashid) – Pakistan’s seafood industry is gaining fresh momentum in international markets, with Pakistani seafood products receiving an encouraging response from Russian buyers and visitors at a seafood exhibition in St. Petersburg.

Pakistan’s participation in the exhibition is being led by Mr. Asim Abrar, CEO of Seagreen Enterprises Private Limited, in collaboration with the Pakistan Trade Mission in Russia.

The participation has generated significant interest among Russian customers, who have expressed appreciation for the quality of seafood products showcased by Pakistani exporters. The strong response has also created growing interest in sourcing Pakistani seafood for the Russian market.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Asim Abrar said the response from Russian buyers reflected the considerable potential for Pakistani seafood exports in Russia.
