Sindh seed processing investment
A Sindh seed processing investment of PKR 500 million is under consideration by the International Multi Group of Companies, led by Chairman Sheikh Amjad Rasheed. The company plans an integrated seed processing facility at Port Qasim in Karachi, a location that offers direct access to shipping routes.
Sindh Seed Processing Investment Targets Port Qasim
The plan shows investor confidence in Pakistan’s agricultural base and in the province’s industrial capacity. A facility close to a major port can move finished goods to international buyers quickly and at lower logistics costs.
Sesame and Castor Seeds Under One Roof
The facility would process sesame and castor seeds under one roof, which allows the firm to manage quality and supply in one place. Planned products include castor oil, sesame oil, tahini, essential oils and other value-added derivatives aimed at export markets.
Going from simply selling raw seeds to processed products can increase income retained in Pakistan and create skilled jobs in processing, packaging and logistics, helping both growers and workers.
Government Backing and the Policy Opportunity
The project was discussed with Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah. He directed the Investment and Agriculture departments to assist with research, development and grower partnerships; such support gives the investor a clear point of contact and signals that the provincial government is ready to help.
