It has a proven metallurgy, electrical and mechanical engineering efficiency with vast natural and mineral resources.
Pakistan is predominantly an agrarian economy. It has a vibrant livestock sector and is the 5th largest producer of milk but it has not been able to fully exploit its strengths in the agriculture and livestock sector due to lack of technology that could give value addition to agricultural and dairy products and pave the way for the establishment of agro-based industries. He said Pakistan offers a lot of opportunities for Ukrainian businessmen to set up agro-based industries in Pakistan on 100% equity basis or in the form of joint ventures with Pakistani businessmen.
The LCCI President said hat Ukraine is a major center of Ex-Soviet Union's, heavy industry. This is another area where Pakistan can benefit from the processes and the consequent product development. Pakistani businessmen would specifically be looking for the prospects of transfer of technology. Opportunities exist in cooperation between the heavy industry establishments in Ukraine and the engineering sector of Pakistan in the form of joint ventures.
