KARACHI: A 17-member delegation of Pakistani rice exports is leaving for Dammam, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday to attend a number of events, including a Biryani Festival, in a bid to boost the country’s share in the Kingdom’s rice import market, exporters told Arab News on Friday.

“Our prices are at par with India and our quality is far superior. We are going to capture the Indian market,” Ali Hussam Asghar, Senior Vice Chairman of the Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP), who is leading the delegation, told Arab News.
