China’s dry fruit exports to Pakistan rose nearly 16% from $36.6 million in 2024 to $42.4 million in 2025, providing relief to traders and consumers. Walnuts led the exports, reaching $33.96 million, while raisins recorded the fastest growth due to rising demand from households and the food processing industry.
In addition to walnuts and raisins, China supplied almonds, dried dates, apricots, figs, and mixed dry fruits, diversifying Pakistan’s import options and reducing dependence on a single source. Improved logistics from western China and streamlined customs procedures supported this increase.
Market data showed that wholesale dry fruit prices stabilized in 2025 compared with earlier volatility, aided by larger shipment volumes, reliable delivery schedules, and competitive pricing from Chinese exporters.
