The Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) has issued an international tender to export 107,739 metric tonnes of previously imported white refined sugar. The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet approved this measure in the third week of August to alleviate a domestic sugar shortage. The surplus sugar, which was previously imported, will be exported to ensure domestic market stability.
The tender invites bids from eligible firms, companies, and other entities through the Single Stage One Envelope procedure. Electronic bids must be submitted on the government’s EPADS v2.0 portal by 11:00 am on September 28, 2026. All bids will be processed online, and participants will receive preliminary results immediately, followed by final results later.
This action comes after the ECC allowed the import of up to 500,000 metric tonnes of sugar in June 2025, but TCP only imported 300,000 metric tonnes, selling 192,000 metric tonnes domestically and retaining 108,000 tonnes for export.
