According to a top-level government official, the first Amazon Fulfillment and Facilitation Center (AFFC) in South Punjab will open in Multan after Eid-ul-Adha.
In an exclusive interview with APP, Post-Master General (PMG) Zulfiqar Husnain emphasised the government’s unwavering efforts to launch a variety of Pakistani products abroad through Amazon.
The Pakistan Post, according to the PMG, is working nonstop to meet the deadline.
The majority of the work on the AFFC at the general post office in Dera Adda has been done, according to the official, and it will be operational after Eid. In order to meet Amazon’s expectations, a warehouse is also being built.
He further mentioned that plans are in the works to establish Amazon hubs with warehouses in Bahawalpur and other areas in South Punjab.
“Multan officials worked with the Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) to ensure that handmade products from South Punjab became an identity for Pakistan on the Amazon portal, and that local exporters, industrialists, and traders could use the world’s largest online retail platform after registering.”
Amazon is the world’s largest market platform, according to Zulfiqar Husnain, and a made-in-Pakistan signature would be a great success for the government.
The PMG stated, “The programme would not only bring much-needed foreign exchange revenues, but it would also boost Pakistan Post’s revenue.”
