Pakistan’s rice exports to China surge 84% in first half of 2025

Pakistan’s rice exports to China have seen impressive growth in the first half of 2025, reflecting the success of China’s economic policies aimed at boosting trade relations and diversifying supply chains.
Pakistan Embassy’s Trade and Investment Counsellor in Beijing, Ghulam Qadir, reported that total rice exports from Pakistan to China, including both premium and broken rice, totaled approximately $35.93 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $19.53 million in 2024 — an increase of over $16 million or 84%.
Qadir attributed the rise in rice exports to China’s policy to diversify import sources and ensure food security. This growth highlights Pakistan’s expanding role as a key supplier of rice to China, fostering stronger economic ties between the two nations.
As bilateral trade flourishes, Pakistani rice producers are optimistic about further market growth, supported by improved trade policies, quality standards, and diplomatic relations. This trend is expected to bring positive economic benefits to Pakistan’s agriculture sector, strengthening its position as a reliable rice exporter to China.
