In little over a year after US multinational e-commerce giant Amazon opened to merchants from Pakistan, the country has retained its place among the top three nat\u00adions selling a range of products worldwide while using the digital platform.
\nWhile briefing the Nat\u00adio\u00adnal Assembly Standing Committee on Commerce on Thursday, Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) officials also sounded confident about the potential of the country, its exportable products and the skills of those individuals engaged with the platform hoping they would manage to maintain upward trend while capitalising on the fast-growing opportunity.
\n\u201cPakistan is currently among the top three new sellers that joined Amazon\u2019s marketplace in the US in 2022,\u201d said a TDAP briefing to the members of the NA\u2019s standing committee hea\u00added by its chairman Raza Rabbani Khar.
\n\u201cUnsurpri\u00adsingly, the US and China top the list. The thousands of Pakistani sellers dwarf in comparison to the two largest nations, but that\u2019s more than the rest of the countries in the world, including export hubs like China, India and neighbouring countries like Canada,\u201d it said.
\nIt was in May 2021, when Amazon added Pakistan to the countries allowed to sell on its marketplace. The decision came almost after yearlong talks between the Ministry of Commerce and Amazon authorities. Since then, thousands of sellers from Pakistan have joined the Amazon marketplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
