خود کو جانا جدا زمانے سے آ گیا تھا میرے گمان میں کیا
بولتے کیوں نہیں میرے حق میں آبلے پڑ گئے زبان میں کیا

Some may say it is a Chinese market invasion, and more opinion makers may declare the internal law and order situation as a major culprit, while most rank Pakistan’s damaged outlook due to terrorism. Business in Pakistan is failing big time at the behest of failing product quality also. I put up this simple question with my LinkedIn follower to help identify some reasons which Pakistani product exports have seen a reported downfall of -4.761% per year. The members from communities of professors, exporters, office holders of Chambers/Federations of Commerce and Industries, and scholars from Pakistan and Pakistani Embassies were invited to participate in this discussion. These highly admissible results that I attracted were around but not limited to these reasons (and remedies): Quality Standardization hurting Pakistan Exports Quality Standardization is poorly handled by local manufacturers.

This simplicity and the healthy meal must be appreciated, such a positive innovation in culture.
In Pakistan, most businesses are being operated under the mindset of SAITH prevalence. Quality certification and adherence to health, labor, and environmental standards are still a problem for exporters. Low quality of education is the very reason the quality of any unique product is poor. Quality Control and Quality Assurance are major factors. The production cost is definitely high compared to India and China in addition to the supply chain issues; a lot of time delays, wastages, and quality isn’t up to the mark.

Most of our products are not complying the IEC, ISO/PSI Standards. CE marking is missing to cover EU member states. In this regard, big chunks of learning from China, India, Thailand, and Malaysia need to be applied to our export business. UL is missing to cover the USA market. Testing Reports are not bothered against ISO 17025 as evidence of compliance of products. Certifications like ISO, and OHSAS are taken just for display, our exporters simply don’t understand the concept of PDCA cycle, 6 Sigma, etc. There is no concept of labor laws, a lack of trained and skilled labor, and thus a lack of professionalism and standardization. Many companies don’t have an R&D department, they lack skills in manufacturing products.
