> Iran allows duty waiver on PakKinnow import

Iran, which had been charging anagging 90 percent customs duty on

import of Pakistani kinnow, has totallywaived the duty from January 4, 2011,allowing duty-free import of the fruit fromPakistan into Iran.

Iran is a major market forPakistani kinnow. Following the importduty waiver, a month earlier than normalexports of the fruit would take a big leapforward during the on-going season.

Pakistani exporters have appreciatedthis move and consider it a boom for growers -shippers, Iran being a key market.

Pakistan Horticulture Development &Export Company (PHDEC) estimates that the

volume of export of kinnow to Iran will increaseup to three times only because of duty waive off.

Pakistan exported 360,000 tons ofkinnow in 2009-10, of which about 44,000 tonswas the share of Iran only The impact of thewaiver would take Iran's kinnow imports to130,000 tons and finally the figure of kinnowexports from Pakistan may touch 400,000 tons.

Ahmed Jawad, Chief Executive Officer,Harvest Trading, told Business Recorder thatthe government of Iran normally relaxes the tarifffrom February 4 to protect Iranian farmers whoproduce mandarins themselves. However, thisseason, Iran has suddenly relaxed the tariff from

January 4. In Case of Iranian market remainingclosed, the country would lose 80,000-100,000tons of kinnow exports this year.

In Pakistan, Citrus fruits are the mostimportant crop, grown on an area of 160,000hectares. It is grown in all the four provinces,but Punjab produces over 95 percent of thecrop because of favourable growing conditionsand adequate water supply. Citrus is dividedinto different groups sweet oranges, mandarin,grape fruit, lemon, and lime which are beinggrown commercially.

Kinnow, known as mandarin, is mainly

grown in Punjab and, to a lesser extent, innorthern Indian states. Pakistan is the 6th

largest producer of kinnow and oranges in theworld. The kinnow season starts in Novemberand ends in March, which is the longest pickingperiod than any other citrus variety. It isconsumed directly as well as in juices.

The government has set a target ofexporting 300,000 tons of kinnow during year2010-11 as against the export, of around250,000 tons registered during last year.

Although Pakistani exporters haveappreciated this move, a couple of them,however, have expressed concern to the extent

that increased supply to Iran would increasecompetition among them and bring down theunit price.

> Pakistan achieves highest monthly exportsPakistan achieved highest ever

> TDAP plans to set up skill developmentinstitutes with Chinese help

In a move to increase the country'sshare in China's global imports, thegovernment is planning to set up, export relatedskills development institutes in collaborationwith the Chinese government.

The Web portal of TDAP would providean interactive platform to the exporters mainlyfrom textiles, made-ups, leather, marineproducts, minerals, marble/granite, chemicals,and food sector to improve bilateral trade.

The TDAP is presently working on tobring both countries closer for joint efforts to

improve the efficacy of the FTA throughdismantling non-tariff barriers. For that reason,the trade-related workshops and seminars areto be held in both China and Pakistan, in orderto educate and create awareness amongststakeholders about the trade potential.

> Exports to cross $ 20b mark thisfinancial year

(Pakistan to explore Chinese market to capitalizeon competitive edge)

Pakistan's exports may cross the$20 billion mark this financial year despitea negative impact of gas outages on theindustry, said a top official of the TradeDevelopment Authority of Pakistan (TDAP)

Talking to the media recently,TDAP Chief Executive Tariq Puri said thatfirst-half trade figures have depicted ahealthy trend and there is a strongpossibility that exports will exceed $20billion by end- June. In six months, goods

worth $U billion were exported againstimports worth $19.7 billion, showing a gapof $8.2 billion.

Though, the $20 billion mark issignificant, it is still behind the 20U exporttarget of $21.3 billion set in a three-yeartrade policy in 2009. This year thegovernment did not announce the tradepolicy based on the 2009 broader policyframework. The 2009 trade policy

envisages 10 per cent growth in exports over2009-10 when exports stood at $19.4 billion.

The industry is facing an acuteshortage of gas and power, as most of theindustrial hubs remain shut at least two days in

a week. This has not only rendered thousandsof daily wages earners jobless but is alsomaking it difficult for the exporters to deliverorders to international buyers on time.

The country is facing a daily gasshortage of 800 million cubic feet to 1.2 billioncubic feet, estimates of the ministry ofpetroleum and natural resources show.

The chief executive of the TDAP, abody constituted to promote the country'sproducts worldwide, was not sure about theexact impact of gas shortage on the industry.He said that the actual impact of outages willbe clear only after trade figures of January are

released. Industry experts are estimating a lossof $500 to $800 million per month on account ofgas outages in Punjab.

Tariq Puri said that the government hasdeclared 2011 as the 'year of exports'.However, he could not give a firm answer howthe government will tackle power and gasoutages and deteriorating law and ordersituation that are hampering business activities.

He said Pakistan will try to explore theChinese market, as Islamabad still enjoys acompetitive edge in many products over Beijing.Pakistan-China bilateral trade hovers around $7billion which is heavily tilted in favour of Beijing

whose exports stand at over $5 billion.Puri said that despite a free trade

agreement between the two countries, Chinastill has non-tariff barriers that restrictPakistan's exports in even those areas whereeffective duties are zero.

To a question, Puri said that thefinance ministry was not releasing the ExportDevelopment Fund that has created someproblems. Out of the demand of Rs. 2 billion,the finance ministry has so far released onlyRs. 900 million." The fund is collected bylevying 0.25 per cent surcharge on all exportconsignments and is intended for developing

projects to encourage exports. He said thefinance ministry has deposited the money in theNational Bank and is earning 11 per centinterest on that amount.

The office of the Auditor General ofPakistan has recently unearthed misuse of overRs 900 million in the Export Development Fund.Purl said he did not have exact figures of themoney being misused out of this pooled amount,as the process of settling the audit objections was

going on. Commerce Secretary ZafarMahmood, in a meeting of the PublicAccounts Committee held on September I,2009 said that exporters have beenfinancing projects from their own money

while the finance ministry has withheld aboutRs. 1.1 billion from the Export DevelopmentFund to finance the budget.

> Government to provide financialsupport to rice exporters

Establishing by product industries for China

In a move to capture larger sharefrom China's global import, thegovernment is all set to provide financialassistance to the exporters especially riceexporters for establishing by-productindustries in Pakistan for China, said topofficial of Trade Development Authority of

Pakistan (TDAP) recently."The government is striving to take

every possible measure to increase thevolume of Pakistan's exports to China,"said Tariq Puri, Chief Executive of TDAPwhile talking to Business Recorder.

He said the TDAP wascontemplating several proposals includingthe provision of financial assistance or tobe an equity partner of the exporters intheir by-product industries. For thepurpose, the TDAP is going to invite theexporters especially rice exporters tofinalize the modalities in this connection.

He said the country's export wasprogressing as the cumulative value ofexports for the period July-December; 2010was US $ 11.010 billion as against US $9.099 billion, registering a growth of 21 per-cent over the same period last year.

Puri said the authority had facedevent management issues in the past butnow they were trying to revamp the sameto facilitate the stake-holders in a betterway. He said the authority concerneddeclared 2011 as export year and hopedthat the country would cross a benchmarkof US$ 20 billion in export by May 2011.

Although China's global importmainly depends on raw material, theauthority is striving to export value addedproducts especially home textile goods toChina. Therefore, the TDAP is planning toorganize 20 exhibitions in China to providean opportunity to the Chinese importers toexplore Pakistani markets, he said.

He was also very optimistic aboutTDAP's newly launched web portal, saying

that the web portal, which had recently beenincorporated with directories of exporters andimporters, would play vital role in escalatingcountrys export by 15 to 20 percent in comingdays.

Moreover, he said the web portal wouldalso provide an interactive platform to theexporters mainly from textiles, made-ups,leather, marine products, minerals,marble/granite, chemicals, and food sector toimprove bilateral trade.

The TDAP would also launch newinitiatives of mutual co-operation for thedevelopment of bilateral trade and investmentin export related sectors in 21011.

> TDAP eyeing Japanese marketThe Trade Development Authority of

Pakistan (TDAP) has launched a programme to

promote country's export in Japanese market incollaboration with JETRO and JICA.

This was stated by the chief executiveofficer Tariq Iqbal Puri during a videoconference with Lahore-based members of adelegation of exporters of fabrics and clothingwho will be attending Japan Fashion Week -International Fashion Fair (JFW-IFF) on Jan 26- 28, 2011.

He said that the TDAP had finalizedarrangements for providing all facilities,including affixation of visas.

JETRO has already fixed meetings withbig Japanese companies like Mitsui-Bussan

Inter, Fashion Ltd., Sojitz Corporation,Marubeni Corporation, Mitsubishi Corporationand visits to big Chain stores in Japan.

Puri further informed that Japan is avery big market with imports of textile,garments and towels worth $ 20 billion. Closeto 85 per cent garments are being importedfrom China. The Japanese business is now inthe process of diversifying their import fromother parts of the region like Indonesia,Vietnam, and Bangladesh.

Currently, Pakistan's major readymadegarment exports are to USA and EU.

Evidently, quality is not an issue

because several Japanese brands aremanufactured in Pakistan. The exploratorymission will conduct market study and theTDAP would consider participating in JFW-IFFfairs scheduled in July this year.

Over next three to five years, JETROand TDAP teams would work to collaborate insetting up joint ventures with Japanesecompanies for trade promotion of Pakistaniproducts.

Comprehensive Economic Report on Nigeria

igeria with 150 millionpopulation is the largestcountry of Africa

continent. Nigeria is also the largestAfrican oil producer. Nigeria has around60% young population living in Urban orsemi Urban areas. Its GDP has grownfrom near 22.8 billion dollars in 1988 to270 billion dollars in 2010. Its exports in1988 was just 23 billion dollars but thisyear it is heading toward hopping 47 billiondollars. As oil price has jumped to 82dollars for per barrel and Nigeria hasstabilized its oil producing area so theincome has jumped to 164 million dollarper day.

The Nigerian market is growing at

a speed of 8% per annum. It is predictedthat in 2011 growth may increase by 2%.Output of Nigerian oil production hasincreased by 600,000 barrels per day. Themaximum output will enable Nigeriangovernment to implement developmentprojects in Abuja and 36 states. It will pushthe demand of building material, iron,wood products, cement and alliedproducts. The Nigerian development plan2020 envisages establishment of 30universities, 12 medical school, 40technical colleges, 300 higher secondaryschools and 10,000 primary schools. The

Nigerian industry is producing 80% ofcement, iron and aluminum requirement ofpresent market demand. However, ifabove projects are implemented with theexpected oil income then requirement toimport will jump to 50%.

Nigeria with huge fossil fuel andresources has remained backward withreversing trends in industrialization. Thestructure of the economy has not improvedfor many years. Its economy is based onagriculture 33%, industries 40% andservices 27%. Moreover, in 1999 it had170 textile mills but in 2010 the number

reduced to only 20 textile mills. The growthin agriculture was drastically mutatedduring 80s and 90s. It has made Nigeriaone of the major importers of rice, wheatmaize and food stuff. It imported 1.8million tons rice during 2009-2010.Moreover, the consumer prices increasedby 500% during last two decades. Nigeria

has combined electricity production capacity of3800 mega watts whereas its

requirement is 7000 mega watts. This huge gap

an impediment in fast growth of manufacturingsector in Nigeria.

Nigeria has 86 medicine factories butdue to constant electricity failures it is workingat 50% of its capacity. If it is provided withpower supply, it can cater to the 30% marketdemand. However, it is nearly impossible tomake it workable in near future. The gap isbeing filled by Indian and Chinese companies.There are 70 Indian companies and 40 Chinesecompanies grabbing around 50% of the marketshare. These companies have virtuallymonopolized the market and prices areunaffordable. In this situation Pakistani

companies can give tough competition andcapture the market with ease.

The textile and garments sector isalmost dominated by three countries namelyChina, India and Egypt but they get periodicalexemptions from local authorities, as Nigeriabanned textile products in 2002. Moreover,there is also presence of UK, France, USA,Syria, Thailand and Turkish companies. It isbeing exploited by the big players in theabsence of serious competitors. They fix pricesas they wish and none can challenge them.Pakistan's textile and garment sector has greatpotential to defeat them without much

competition. But it will require bothdetermination and active marketing.

The textile industry in Nigeria is under-performing despite injection of 100 billion Nairai.e. 47 billion rupees to revamp the ailingsector. Nigerian government had banned textileproducts since 2002 but local industry hasshrunk from 170 to 20 'textile, mills. 90% oflocal market needs are being supplied byneighboring ECOWAS countries through legaland illegal channels. Nigerian markets aredumped with Chinese, Indian, Syrian andJapanese products. Moreover, Nigeria is losingaround $ 450 million on textile and garment

sector in import duties due to smuggling, asstated by customs department.

The medicines and surgical productsare mostly imported from India, China andGermany. It is interesting to underscore thatproducts in Nigerian market are inferior toPakistani products. Nigerian medicalassociation has shown dissatisfaction over the
