Pakistan’s Exports to China Reach $2.38 Billion in Fiscal Year 2024–25 Amid Trade Agreement Benefits

**Rephrased Article:**
Pakistan exported goods valued at $2.38 billion ($2,375 million) to China throughout fiscal year 2024–25, as confirmed by the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP). This figure underscores sustained trade momentum between the two nations. In June 2024–25 alone, exports to China hit $152 million, reflecting a 1% year-on-year increase from $150 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year.

For the full fiscal year (July 2024–June 2025), Pakistan’s total exports reached $32.11 billion ($32,106 million), marking a 4.67% annual growth. Total imports during this period stood at $58.38 billion ($58,380 million), resulting in a trade deficit of $26.27 billion ($26,274 million). Exports to China represented 7.4% of Pakistan’s global export volume.

Primary export commodities to China included textiles, garments, knitwear, cotton yarn, fabric, minerals, rice, sesame seeds, chilies, pink salt, and seafood. While most exports remain raw or semi-processed, value-added products are progressively gaining market traction.

The export growth is partially linked to the second phase of the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA-II), enacted on January 1, 2020. By lowering tariffs and improving market access, CPFTA-II has expanded opportunities for Pakistani exporters in China.
