Pakistan Single Window (PSW) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Pakistan Horticulture Development and Export Company (PHDEC) to strengthen the horticulture sector\u2019s ability to participate in Pakistan\u2019s evolving digital trade ecosystem. The partnership aims to translate digital trade facilitation into practical capabilities for exporters and processors, helping businesses navigate regulatory requirements, manage export procedures more efficiently, and strengthen their readiness for international markets.<\/p>\n

The collaboration reflects PSW\u2019s role in advancing trade digitalization through both integrated infrastructure and the capabilities businesses need to use it effectively. By combining PSW\u2019s digital trade facilitation infrastructure with PHDEC\u2019s sector expertise and mandate to promote horticulture exports, the partnership establishes a framework for addressing the practical challenges horticulture businesses face in adopting digital trade processes.<\/p>\n

PHDEC, a government-owned entity under the Ministry of Commerce, will work with PSW to deliver targeted capacity-building and awareness initiatives for horticulture exporters and processors. Training sessions, webinars, and workshops will cover PSW registration, system usage, documentation, and regulatory requirements, connecting these processes to businesses\u2019 day-to-day export operations.<\/p>\n

A central priority is to enable exporters to manage their PSW registrations and related trade processes independently and confidently. Greater familiarity with digital procedures will help businesses exercise stronger oversight of their submissions and maintain control over sensitive commercial information. Awareness of data protection and privacy will form an integral part of these efforts, reinforcing secure participation in digital trade.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the partnership, Syed Aftab Haider, CEO of PSW, said: \u201cDigital infrastructure is a foundation for trade reform, but its impact depends on how effectively businesses can use it. Our partnership with PHDEC connects PSW\u2019s trade facilitation capabilities with the specific needs of Pakistan\u2019s horticulture sector. By strengthening exporters\u2019 ability to navigate digital procedures, meet regulatory requirements, and manage their information securely, we aim to make digitalization a practical enabler of export readiness and competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Muhammad Naseer, CEO of PHDEC, said: \u201cPreparing horticulture businesses for international markets requires a strong understanding of the processes that underpin export activity. Through this partnership, PHDEC and PSW will bring sector expertise and digital trade knowledge together to help exporters and processors address operational challenges and navigate export procedures with greater confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond capacity building, the collaboration will provide a structured channel for identifying sector-specific barriers to digital adoption and developing coordinated responses. The institutions will also provide guidance on PSW<\/a>-related operational issues and explore information sharing in accordance with PSW\u2019s Trade Data Sharing & Exchange Policy.<\/p>\n

Joint working groups, with equal representation from both institutions, will coordinate implementation, monitor progress, and periodically assess outcomes to keep the collaboration responsive to the sector\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

The partnership brings digital trade facilitation closer to the businesses it is designed to serve. By linking national trade infrastructure with targeted sector support, PSW<\/a> and PHDEC aim to build a more digitally capable horticulture export sector, better equipped to manage regulatory processes and pursue opportunities in international markets.<\/p>\n
