The Pakistan Gems and Jewellery Development Company (PGJDC) has organised 5th Gems Bazaar in Peshawar at Gems Exchange at Khayal Arcade, Namak Mandi, Peshawar. This Gem Bazaar" shows PGJDCs commitment for consistent efforts to promote Pakistans gemstones sector and also to provide a lucrative opportunity and platform for those interested in buying and selling gemstones and mineral specimen under one roof in a secured environment.
The interested buyers will be exposed to quality products on competitive prices, which will add tangible value to their business endeavours. Like previous Gems Bazaars, this time too around 60 exhibitors have displayed their gemstones and mineral specimens for the interested buyers. A variety of gemstones and mineral specimens are displayed under one roof, where interested buyers have the maximum exposure to a wide range of quality display.
A PGJDC official said that Pakistan has huge potential of exporting its precious and semiprecious stones, after value-addition, and can earn millions of dollars in foreign exchange. He said: "The unfortunate part is that we have been exporting our gemstones without value-addition, thus are unable to fetch the right price for our exports. PGJDC is working on several projects to impart the required skills and education to the stakeholders so that they could recognise the importance of exports after value-addition."
He said that the Gems Bazaar has been organised in a professional manner to ensure high security and transparency in trading. The Gems Bazaar will be an ongoing feature which will contribute immensely to the continuous efforts that PGJDC is putting in for the development of gems and jewellery industry of Pakistan."
He said: "Such initiatives by the Company will boost confidence, motivation and trust on PGJDCs efforts for development of the industry. It will further enhance the value chain productivity of the sector, which will also enable the miners to rise above unnecessary exploitation and deprivation from direct trading. The interested buyers will be exposed to quality products on competitive prices, which will add tangible value to their business endeavours."-PR
