Markets
We ship worldwide from Karachi.
Pakistani pink salt reaches more than a hundred countries. We load at Karachi and deliver FOB or CIF to your named port, wherever that is — and we publish what your clearance will ask of you before you ask us.
We are based in Pakistan and we hold no stock anywhere else. There is no overseas office, no local warehouse and no agent — everything you receive arrives on the container you ordered. For a buyer that means one accountable counterparty and no margin stacked in between.
Where the demand is
Pakistan’s salt export destinations.
This is the market as a whole, not our own sales — we publish it because it is the honest way to show where this trade actually goes.

Shares are by export value. Datasets that count shipments rather than value put the United States higher, between a third and two fifths; both measures rank it first.
