According to a top-level government official, the first Amazon Fulfillment and Facilitation Center (AFFC) in South Punjab would open in Multan after Eid-ul-Adha.
During an exclusive interview with APP, Post-Master General (PMG) Zulfiqar Husnain reaffirmed the government's continuous efforts to offer various Pakistani products abroad via Amazon.
According to the PMG, Pakistan Post is working diligently to meet the objective.
The official stated that most of the work on the AFFC at the general post office Dera Adda had been done and that it will be operational after Eid. In order to meet Amazon's expectations, a warehouse is also being built.
He further mentioned that work is being done to establish Amazon hubs with warehouses in Bahawalpur and other areas of South Punjab.
"Multan officials were in contact with Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) to ensure that handmade products of South Punjab become an identity of Pakistan on Amazon portal and ensure that local exporters, industrialists, and traders also avail the world's largest online retail platform after registration."
According to Zulfiqar Husnain, Amazon is the world's largest market gateway, and a made-in-Pakistan trademark would be a massive success for the government.
"The initiative would not only
ing much-needed foreign exchange earnings but would also improve Pakistan Post's revenue," According to the PMG.
