Shaikh Fazal Ahmed, Vice Chairman of All Pakistan Solvent Extractor's Association, along with other office bearers of the association held a meeting with S. M. Muneer, Chief Executive of TDAP, to discuss issues faced by the exporters in the field. Initially they raised the issue of "Ban on import of Pakistani Rapseed/ Canola Meal by China" in last February. The association members sought assistance of TDAP chief for lifting of the ban because their efforts could not get the desired results.
Chief Executive TDAP immediately contacted Erfa Iqbal, Commercial Consoler Beijing to immediately take up the matter with the concerned authorities in China and give compliance within three days. A comprehensive letter along with required documents was also emailed to her to avoid any further delay. It is expected that after lifting the ban, the export in this sector will increase by $1 million. The issues related with GST and FBR were also discussed with S.M. Muneer.-PR
