(All values are in Million US $)
Pakistan has been the trading partner of Turkey and been
exporting stainless steel instruments but it’s share is very small comparing to
the rest of the world.
There are many products which Pakistan is manufacturing
domestically but not exporting such as “Syringes, Suction Catheters” and few
others.
Pakistani manufactures should tap that market and start
manufacturing products which are in demand in Turkey considering price and
value in mind.
(Ekal Instruments has been manufacturing stainless steel surgical instruments from the last three decades).
