Pakistan’s Maritime Affairs Ministry has outlined plans to unlock up to $10 billion in revenue from its fisheries sector as part of broader efforts to expand the country’s maritime economy. Ministry official Junaid Anwar Chaudhry highlighted ongoing reforms and policy initiatives aimed at improving business conditions and enhancing logistics connectivity with international partners. The push comes as part of a strategic effort to diversify Pakistan’s economic base and leverage its coastal resources more effectively.
The government is focusing on streamlining regulatory processes and improving infrastructure to support the fisheries industry. These measures are expected to attract more investment and increase exports. Chaudhry emphasized the importance of strengthening regional and global trade links to maximize the sector’s potential. The initiative reflects growing recognition of the fisheries industry’s role in economic growth and job creation.
Authorities are also looking to modernize fishing practices and promote sustainable resource management. Improved logistics and better access to international markets are seen as key to achieving the revenue target. The plan underscores Pakistan’s commitment to developing its maritime sector as a cornerstone of future economic development.
