Highlighting the potential for further development, Janoo proposed forming a joint committee between REAP and the PNSC to explore mechanisms for utilising PNSC services for rice export shipments. This initiative aims to reduce the $300 million spent annually on foreign shipping companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chawla applauded the achievements of REAP members, highlighting the importance of leveraging the country\u2019s national shipping carrier to create a mutually beneficial framework for exporters and the shipping industry. He assured REAP of the PNSC\u2019s full support in enhancing rice export operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior Vice Chairman REAP Javed Jillani highlighted a recent milestone where significant rice shipments were successfully exported to Bangladesh via bulk vessels. He expressed optimism about securing PNSC services for future exports, citing rising demand from international markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By&nbsp;Our Correspondent.
