| Marble exports can earn more foreign exchange Federal Minister for Sports and Culture Sardar Sikandar Hayat Khan Jogezai has said that Pakistan, being rich in natural resources particularly marble and granite, has a potential to earn huge foreign exchange through its exports.
He was speaking during a presentation session by Chairman, Pakistan Stone Development Company (PASDEC) Ihsan Ullah Khan at PASDEC head office in Islamabad.
Jogezai said Balochistan is rich in natural resources including gold, silver, oil, gas and marble and granite, slat, sand stone (dimensional stone) but efforts to recover these precious assets are lacking. Pakistan can meet its expenditures only from these resources of Balochistan if it uses them in proper way, he continued.
Chairman, Pakistan Stone Development Company Ihsan Ullah Khan briefed the guests about the performance and future needs of the company.
He said the company plans to increase exports of marble products up to 500 million dollars in next three years. It will have trickledown effect on the masses of the undeveloped areas of the country. However, he pointed out that maximum share of the total marble is wasted due to blasting and lack of proper facilities. staff report
