The ministry said that Pakistani manufacturers would gain access to a worldwide e-commerce platform with Amazon and it would open up a new chapter of the supply chain where Pakistani manufacturers could sell directly to customers.
Pakistan remained off Amazon s list of sellers despite the company s presence in neighbouring India, and Pakistani retailers wishing to sell their products on the marketplace would register their companies from other countries.
After being added to the list, Pakistani merchants will be able to sell their products on the platform with ease.
E-commerce giant Amazon has added Pakistan to its sellers list-making Pakistani entrepreneurs eligible to sell on the platform, the Commerce Ministry announced on Friday.
Technological transformation has changed global commerce. Online market places with maximum traffic and consumer bases have become giants because of their consumer-centric approach to the delivery of services.
Global connectivity with major markets is possible for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through a seller’s registration program.
Amazon will soon open the sellers’ registration of Pakistani companies with the efforts of the Ministry of Commerce, the Pakistan Embassy in Washington DC, and Los Angeles. The Ministry of Commerce has been working on this matter for a year.
A pilot project was initiated with the help of the Pakistani Embassy in America, etc. The National e-Commerce Council (NeCC) had been instrumental in taking the issue forward as all the public sector organizations were represented there. All the work began after the e-commerce policy was approved by the Cabinet at the end of 2019.
