Reefer Truck Transit has been initiated under the auspices of National Logistics Cell (NLC) and Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC).
Under this, sixteen trucks from the National Logistics Cell (NLC) carrying Kinos arrived in two Russian cities.
With this, Pakistan has started exporting fruits to Russia through nearly six thousand kilometer land route.
The truck reached Russia in eighteen days via Iran and Azerbaijan instead of Afghanistan. Earlier, Pakistan used to export Kinos to Russia by sea which took months to reach the destination.
During reefer truck transit, the temperature is maintained to keep the Kinos fresher for a longer period.
Meanwhile, Russia has appreciated the efforts of National Logistics Cell and Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) to promote bilateral trade between the two countries.
The launch of the direct transit service has reshaped the trade relationship between the two countries, with immense business opportunities and the potential to increase bilateral trade to twenty billion dollars.
