Circulars, SROs and notifications relevant to the warehousing & logistics sector will be posted here as they are issued.
Modern Warehousing & Logistics
The services sector contributes more than 50 percent of Pakistan's GDP and supports agriculture and industry, which together contribute more than 40 percent. In the age of globalisation and technology, services are the real engine of growth.
In this modern era warehousing and logistics has emerged as a full-fledged allied industry supporting manufacturing. Warehousing management, encompassing the complete supply chain, goes side by side with logistics: imports, manufacturing, storage, distribution, exports and transportation to the wholesale and retail network all depend on it.
With huge capital investment, revenue generation for the Government and large-scale employment, value-added services have transformed warehousing and logistics to international standards. Purpose-built and temperature-controlled warehouses, cool chains and specialised logistics have become mandatory for both agriculture and industry, and billions of rupees have been invested by local and foreign investors.
Opportunities
Supply chain management
Local businesses are looking to maximise value and increasingly outsource levels of their supply chain to logistics companies to free up their resources.
Significant railway network
The railway network totals 7,791 km. With strong domestic growth and reforms in Pakistan Railways, rail has great potential to play an important role in the sector.
Public-private initiatives
A Bureau of Infrastructure Development (BID) has been proposed to coordinate private-sector participation in infrastructure development.
Strategic geographic location
At the crossroads of Afghanistan, Central Asia, China, India and Iran, Pakistan has huge potential to become a hub for regional transport and trade.
Investment in supply chain, warehousing & logistics
The strategic, tactical and operational levels of supply chain management hold the utmost importance in today's competitive environment. Companies must align purchasing, manufacturing and distribution to achieve competitive advantage, satisfy customer demand and control cost — and increasingly look to warehousing and logistics companies to outsource, freeing their assets and human resources.
Multinational as well as local companies fall under the clientele of warehousing and logistics companies, across exports such as cotton, textiles, leather, sports goods, surgical goods, handicrafts and rice, and imports such as plant and machinery, pharmaceuticals and electrical components. The customer base ranges from small and medium businesses to corporate clients.
The warehousing sector had not previously developed on modern lines because ports allowed long free time to the trade. Today containerised vessels discharge and reload within 18 to 20 hours, and free time has been reduced from ten days to five. Modern warehousing structures are now coming up fast to meet the need for efficient storage and increasing throughput, creating great opportunities for companies close to their end-consumer markets.
Temperature-controlled warehousing & logistics
Pakistan presents some of the greatest opportunities for cold chain logistics. Supply chains for refrigerated foodstuffs remain under-developed: around 50 percent of dairy produce, fruits and vegetables are lost or spoilt because of poor storage, handling or transportation, and a shortage of refrigerated vehicles limits the volume of temperature-sensitive goods that can be moved. Cold chain logistics serves agro-based industries (primary agricultural food accounts for 21 percent of GDP), dairy (Pakistan is the fourth-largest milk producer), pharmaceuticals, FMCG, confectionery and other food industries.
Cold chain warehousing and logistics players play a key role by offering integrated solutions for these products. More cold storage warehouses are coming up to international standards, yet plenty of potential demand remains unfulfilled — and railways are barely used for perishable goods, highlighting a further opportunity.
Sectoral brief
According to the Board of Investment, logistics and warehousing management contributes 22.3 percent of services-sector GDP and accounts for approximately 6 percent of national employment. International transport connects Pakistan through its border crossings, ports and airports to its neighbours and beyond, with a growing emphasis on trade with Central Asia.
- Logistics and transport investments are being supported through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) programme.
- Development of modern and efficient trade facilitation and logistics services.
- Maximising the support of ports to external trade by reducing port and ship-handling charges and developing facilities for all types of ships.
- Improving transport and communication by constructing national trade corridors and providing mass transit in all major cities.
