EghtesadOnline: The absence of a credible payment mechanism remains the major irritant in Iran-Pakistan trade.

EghtesadOnline: A 16-member delegation of Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan has left for Iran to explore trade and investment opportunities in general and enhance rice export to the neighboring country in particular.

EghtesadOnline: Iran is buying rice from Pakistan via Dubai despite a preferential trade agreement between Tehran and Islamabad which has been in place since 2006.

EghtesadOnline: Pakistan produces favorable-quality rice and looks to boost export to the Iranian market, said president of Quetta Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
