1.巴基斯坦金诺橘瞄准中国零售市场
Pakistan's kinnow targets China's retail market
巴基斯坦园艺发展出口公司（PHDEC）于周四牵头组织一场 B2B 对接会，参会双方为巴基斯坦头部柑橘出口企业与阿里旗下生鲜零售连锁盒马。盒马在中国各地运营超 1000 家门店。
本次会议旨在挖掘巴基斯坦新鲜金诺橘直接供应中国零售市场的新机遇。会谈围绕国际采购商的核心要求展开，涵盖产品品质、品质稳定性、供货保障、有竞争力的价格以及高效物流等方面。
巴基斯坦柑橘年产量约 240 万吨，金诺橘在本国柑橘产量与出口量中占比很高。会上，巴基斯坦出口商介绍了自身采购供应链、分级包装设备、冷链配套设施，以及开拓国际市场的相关经验。
盒马表示本次对接成效显著，并同意在 2026 年 11 月举行后续会议。下一轮磋商计划在出口季到来之前敲定产品质量标准、供货数量、定价方案以及物流方案；该出口季定于 2026 年 12 月 1 日正式开启。
当前巴基斯坦正积极与国际大型零售商建立直接合作关系，以此实现园艺产品出口市场多元化、巩固出口业务，本次对接正是在此背景下开展。
巴基斯坦园艺发展出口公司希望通过和全球采购商直接对接，为本国园艺产品打造以市场为导向的出口机会，打通本国种植户、出口商同国际零售市场的合作纽带。
如能顺利拓展中国零售市场业务，巴基斯坦金诺橘出口商将获得更广阔的消费群体，同时也将倒逼本国提升产品质量标准、供应链运转效率以及采后处理水平。
Pakistan is stepping up efforts to expand its Kinnow exports to China as the country's horticulture sector seeks stronger access to one of the world's largest consumer markets.
The Pakistan Horticulture Development & Export Company (PHDEC) on Thursday facilitated a business-to-business meeting between leading Pakistani citrus exporters and Freshippo, an Alibaba-affiliated grocery retail chain operating more than 1,000 outlets across China.
The meeting focused on exploring new opportunities for supplying fresh Pakistani Kinnow directly to the Chinese retail market. Discussions centred on key requirements for international buyers, including product quality, consistency, reliable supply, competitive pricing and efficient logistics.
Pakistan produces approximately 2.4 million tonnes of citrus annually, with Kinnow representing a major share of the country's citrus production and exports. During the meeting, Pakistani exporters highlighted their sourcing networks, grading and packing facilities, cold-chain infrastructure and experience in international markets.
Freshippo described the engagement as highly productive and agreed to hold a follow-up meeting in November 2026. The next round of discussions is expected to finalize quality specifications, supply volumes, pricing arrangements and logistics ahead of the export season, which is scheduled to begin on December 1, 2026.
The development comes as Pakistan seeks to diversify and strengthen its horticultural export destinations by establishing direct relationships with major international retailers.
Through direct engagement with global buyers, PHDEC aims to create market-led export opportunities for Pakistani horticultural products and strengthen links between local growers and exporters and international retail markets.
The proposed expansion into China's retail sector could provide Pakistani Kinnow exporters with a broader consumer base while encouraging improvements in quality standards, supply-chain efficiency and post-harvest handling.
2.瓜达尔开启人民币兑巴基斯坦卢比直接兑换业务
RMB-to-Pakistani Rupee Conversion Begins in Gwadar
瓜达尔恒庚贸易公司一位官员表示：“新金融安排落地，实现人民币直接兑换巴基斯坦卢比之后，每一笔 1000 万卢比规模的交易，中国投资者最多可节省 50 万巴基斯坦卢比。”
他进一步解释：“在旧的金融机制下，中国贸易商和投资者必须先把人民币兑换成美元，再兑换为卢比。受美元汇率波动影响，他们常常要承担汇率损失。”
近期，中国工商银行、中国驻卡拉奇总领事馆高级官员以及中国银行相关高管到访瓜达尔，考察中巴经济走廊项目建设进展，随后便迎来上述业务进展。根据中国人民银行与巴基斯坦国家银行签署的合作备忘录，中国人民银行授权中国工商银行卡拉奇分行担任巴基斯坦的人民币清算行，由工商银行承担监督管理职能。
All companies operating in the Gwadar South Free Zone and Gwadar North Free Zone have begun directly converting Renminbi (RMB) into Pakistani Rupees (PKR) for their trade and business activities. This marks a significant milestone in the currency exchange system between Pakistan and China.
"With the implementation of the new financial arrangement that allows direct conversion of RMB into PKR, Chinese investors can save up to 500,000 Pakistani rupees on every transaction of 10 million rupees," said an official from the Hangeng Trade Company in Gwadar.
He further explained, "Under the previous financial system, Chinese traders and investors had to first convert RMB into US dollars and then into rupees. Due to the volatile value of the dollar, they often bore exchange rate losses."
The developments come after officials from ICBC, along with senior officials from the Chinese Consulate in Karachi and the Bank of China, visited Gwadar this weeks to review progress on CPEC projects. According to the Memorandum of Cooperation between the People's Bank of China and the National Bank of Pakistan, the People's Bank of China has authorized the Karachi branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) to serve as the Pakistani RMB clearing bank. The ICBC will assume supervisory and regulatory responsibilities.

据重大消息，巴基斯坦五家炼油厂已同意推进现代化改造相关协议。该项目有望撬动超 60 亿美元投资，实现本国生产符合欧 5 标准的燃油，降低对进口汽油、柴油的依赖。
周五发布的一份声明显示，巴基斯坦联邦石油部长阿里·佩尔韦兹·马利克与国内五家炼油厂管理层举行会谈。五家企业分别为：巴基斯坦阿拉伯炼油有限公司（PARCO）、巴基斯坦炼油有限公司（PRL）、国家炼油有限公司（NRL）、森吉科公司（Cnergyico）以及阿托克炼油有限公司（ARL）。会谈复盘了现有厂区炼油厂升级政策的落地进度、各炼油厂财务与运营表现，同时探讨强化巴基斯坦能源安全的相关举措。
五家炼油厂管理层均再次表态，愿意依据炼油厂升级政策签署相关协议，协议预计于下月初正式签署。本次协议预计将为巴基斯坦炼油行业带来约 60 亿美元的投资。
In a major development, Pakistan's five oil refineries have agreed to move ahead with modernisation agreements that could unlock more than $6 billion in investment and enable domestic production of Euro 5-compliant fuel, reducing reliance on imported petrol and diesel.
The development came after Federal Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik held meetings with the managements of Pakistan's five oil refineries, Pak Arab Refinery Limited (PARCO), Pakistan Refinery Limited (PRL), National Refinery Limited (NRL), Cnergyico and Attock Refinery Limited (ARL), to review progress towards implementation of the Brownfield Refinery Upgradation Policy, the financial and operational performance of the refineries, and measures to strengthen Pakistan's energy security, read a statement on Friday.
The management of all five refineries reaffirmed their readiness to sign agreements under the Refinery Upgradation Policy, with the agreements expected to be signed early next month. The agreements are expected to unlock approximately $6 billion in investment in Pakistan's refining sector.
