KARACHI: Chairman, Trade Corporation of Pakistan (TCP), Rizwan Ahmed Khan on Tuesday underlined the need for increased interaction between TCP and Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP) to explore new market for Pakistani rice.
During his meeting with rice exporters at REAP Office here, TCP Chief said these two organizations should shake hands to prepare a roadmap for increasing rice export.
