EXPORT TRADE WITH PAKISTAN  

LAHORE. WHICH IS PAKISTAN’S LEADING CULTURAL CENTRE, IS ALSO DENSELY POPULATED COMMERCIAL CITY.  

For the immediate future, the prospects for Aus-  

tralian exports to Pakistan are mainly in essential  

consumer goods, raw materials and capital goods,

It cannot be over-emphasised that, in such re-  

stricted market, prices and quality must be com-  

petitive, price being particularly important. The  

greater frequency of shipping available to European  

and American suppliers tends to give them some
