In 2025/26, Pakistan exported USD 124 million worth of rice to China, he said. “The visit proved to be very productive for REAP since there is a valuable market for imported rice in China," Jilani said, adding, Pakistan will export both Basmati and non-Basmati rice in the new orders. “We will also soon start exporting corn to China as they have begun registering Pakistani traders for corn," he claimed. After textiles, REAP is the second largest export body in Pakistan contributing around USD 2 billion per annum to the economy, the statement said. The visit had been facilitated by the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan.
