KUALA LUMPUR -- Pakistan is seeking for business partners and latent buyers in Malaysia for its fruits and vegetables, said Kerk Loong Sing, National Council Member of the Associated Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM).

An eight-member trade allocation from Pakistan, dealing with fresh fruits and vegetables including growers, importers and exporters, today called on the chambers, here Wednesday.

Kerk, who is the chairman of ACCCIM/KLSCCI Agriculture and Primary Industries Committee, hoped that a meeting held with the deal delegation will cover way for future collaborations in the area.

He said to reporters after getting the Pakistan Delegation.

The fruits and vegetables sector accounted for only US$1.157 million or around two percent of the total exports.

Pakistan in the meantime imported US$676.479 million worth of goods from Malaysia during the same period, comprising mostly chemical products, machinery and parts, petroleum products, iron, steel and manufacturing plus agriculture products.

Kerk said that there was a lot of potential that can be gained in the fresh fruits and vegetables sector among the two countries.
