Amazon adds Pakistan to its sellers’ list

E-commerce giant Amazon has added Pakistan to its sellers’ list-making Pakistani entrepreneurs eligible to sell on the platform, the Commerce Ministry announced on Friday.

The ministry said that Pakistani manufacturers would gain access to a worldwide e-commerce platform with Amazon and it would open up a new chapter of the supply chain where Pakistani manufacturers could sell directly to customers.

“This marks the accomplishment of a milestone of the National e-Commerce Policy, and is the outcome of sustained engagement with Amazon since the last quarter of 2019,” it said.

“The listing will encourage manufacturers to work back from customer needs, design new products, offer high quality at competitive prices and also access new market segments,” it said.
