Their current exports are projected to rise dramatically with increased production capacity. The Faisalabad plant serves as a launchpad for Pakistani flavours, introducing the world to the rich culinary heritage of the nation. This international success is further amplified by recent reports indicating a 40% surge in Pakistani food exports to the United Arab Emirates, a testament to the growing global appeal of National Foods’ products.
