The Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) has announced a new tender for the sale of 36,000 tons of imported sugar, with sealed bids from interested buyers due by December 3. According to the tender guidelines, all bids will be opened on the same day, and offers for quantities under 5,000 tons will not be considered.
The sugar being sold is currently stored in TCP’s Papyri warehouses in Karachi. This tender follows a previous one for the sale of 100,000 tons of imported sugar, part of the government’s ongoing efforts to ensure a steady supply of sugar in the country.
Official records indicate that in July 2025, the federal government approved the import of 500,000 tons of sugar to meet domestic demand. From July to October 2025, a total of 231,390 tons were imported, including 200,000 tons—worth Rs. 31,624 million, imported in October alone. The total value of sugar imports over the past four months has amounted to Rs. 36,976 million.
These imports were made through TCP at the official level, with the federal government also granting a tax exemption on sugar imports to lower costs and ensure a timely supply.
