巴基斯坦海事事务联邦部长穆罕默德·朱奈德·安瓦尔·乔杜里于周六宣布，该国鱼类及渔业产品出口额首次突破5亿美元大关，称这是海事领域与蓝色经济的里程碑式成就。
部长表示，本财年5亿美元的出口目标，较财年末提前46天达成。这一成果得益于政府改革举措、贸易便利化措施优化，以及开拓新兴市场，有效壮大了海事经济、释放出口潜力。
乔杜里称赞海事事务部、海洋渔业局及相关各方协同发力，提升产品质量标准、推动渔业现代化、拓宽国际市场准入渠道；同时对海洋渔业局局长曼苏尔·瓦桑博士及其团队提前完成出口目标予以肯定。
他重点提及近期利好进展：巴基斯坦鱼类及海产品首次获准进入俄罗斯市场，目前已有16家巴企获得对俄海产品出口资质。进入俄罗斯市场将为开拓欧亚经济联盟其他成员国市场奠定基础。部长预估，巴基斯坦海产品年出口额有望攀升至8亿美元，仅对俄初期出口就可带来约3亿美元营收。
海产品将通过海运、空运、陆路多渠道出口；随着哈萨克斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦、土库曼斯坦需求增长，通往中亚的陆上走廊提供了高性价比出口路径。
2025–26财年上半年出口数据亮眼
2025年7—12月，海洋渔业出口表现强劲，出口量122,629吨，出口额2.5324亿美元；上一财年同期出口量102,942吨、出口额2.0825亿美元，出口量同比增长19.1%，出口额同比增长21.6%。
出口品类中，冻鱼居首位，出口26,669吨、价值5,333万美元；虾类出口额4,046万美元；冷冻墨鱼出口额3,613万美元。虾粉、螃蟹、沙丁鱼、鲭鱼、比目鱼、鱼粉等产品丰富了出口品类，提升了深加工附加值。
主要出口市场
中国仍是巴基斯坦最大海产品进口市场，进口量超83,602吨，价值1.492亿美元，占海产品总出口额近59%；泰国为第二大市场，主要进口经危害分析与关键控制点（HACCP）体系加工的虾类，价值3,130万美元。对阿联酋、马来西亚、日本出口同步增长；出口多元化持续推进，产品远销欧盟、沙特、越南、科威特、美国。
注：HACCP为国际公认食品安全管理体系，用于全程识别、评估并管控食品生产中的生物、化学、物理潜在风险。
受季节性需求与物流优化推动，月度出口额在11月达5,642万美元、12月达5,500万美元，为年内峰值。渔业非税收入从上年1.18亿卢比增至1.277亿卢比。
此外，因美国国家海洋和大气管理局认定巴基斯坦渔业符合《海洋哺乳动物保护法》标准，巴基斯坦海产品对美出口资质获批延长四年。
重大基建规划：建设海产品加工出口园区
部长公布重点基建计划：政府将在科兰吉渔港管理局建设占地100英亩的海产品加工出口园区，赋能蓝色经济、提升全球海产品贸易参与度。项目投资6000万—8000万美元，将入驻20—25家大中型鱼类、虾类、头足类加工企业，配套深加工与出口级包装设施。
园区将配备可实现零下18℃至零下40℃多温区存储的冷库与急冻设施，以及日产能50—100吨的制冰厂与片冰站。
Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry on Saturday announced that the country’s exports of fish and fisheries products have surpassed the $500 million mark for the first time, calling it a landmark achievement for the maritime sector and the blue economy.
The minister said the government’s target of $500 million for the current fiscal year was reached 46 days before the year-end. He attributed the milestone to government reforms, improved facilitation and expansion into new markets aimed at strengthening the maritime economy and boosting export potential.
Chaudhry praised coordinated efforts by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, the Marine Fisheries Department and other stakeholders to raise quality standards, modernise the fisheries sector and improve international market access. He also commended Marine Fisheries Board Director General Dr Mansoor Wasan and his team for meeting the target ahead of schedule.
Highlighting recent gains, the minister said Pakistani fish and seafood had for the first time gained approval to enter the Russian market.
To date, 16 Pakistani companies have been authorised to export seafood to Russia. He said access to Russia could pave the way into other Eurasian Economic Union markets. He estimated that annual seafood exports could climb to $800 million, with initial exports to Russia alone projected to bring about $300 million in revenue.
Chaudhry noted that seafood would move via sea, air and land routes, adding that overland corridors to Central Asia offered cost-effective opportunities amid rising demand in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
Referring to sector performance, the minister said the marine fisheries sector posted strong growth in the first half of fiscal 2025–26, with exports reaching 122,629 metric tonnes valued at $253.24 million between July and December 2025. In the same period the previous year, exports were 102,942 tonnes worth $208.25 million, a year‑on‑year increase of 19.1% in volume and 21.6% in value.
Frozen fish remained the top export category with shipments of 26,669 tonnes valued at $53.33 million. Shrimps and prawns generated $40.46 million, and frozen cuttlefish contributed $36.13 million. Other exports, including shrimp meal, crabs, sardines, mackerel, flatfish and fish meal, helped broaden the product mix and lift value‑added processing.
China remained the largest seafood market, importing more than 83,602 tonnes worth $149.2 million, or nearly 59% of total seafood exports. Thailand was the second‑largest market, importing mainly Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)‑processed shrimps and prawns valued at $31.3 million. Exports to the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and Japan also rose, while diversification efforts expanded shipments to the European Union, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Kuwait and the United States.
HACCP is a globally recognised food safety management system designed to proactively identify, evaluate, and control potential biological, chemical, and physical hazards throughout the food production process.
Monthly export momentum peaked at $56.42 million in November and $55 million in December, supported by seasonal demand and logistical improvements. Non‑tax revenue from the fisheries sector increased to Rs127.7 million from Rs118 million a year earlier.
Chaudhry also noted that Pakistan has secured a four‑year extension for seafood exports to the United States after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration classified Pakistani fisheries as “comparable” under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Announcing a major infrastructure plan, the minister said the government will establish a 100‑acre seafood processing and export zone at the Korangi Fisheries Harbour Authority to promote the blue economy and expand its role in the global seafood trade. Estimated at $60–80 million, the project would house 20–25 medium and large processing units for fish, shrimp and cephalopods, along with value‑addition and export‑grade packaging facilities.
The zone will include cold storage and blast‑freezing facilities with multi‑temperature storage from minus 18 to minus 40 degrees Celsius, ice plants and flake ice stations with a daily production capacity of 50–100 tonnes, he added.
