National Foods has reported strong financial performance over the first nine months of the year, supported by growing export demand and improved operational efficiency.
The company’s profit reached Rs. 5.198 billion, reflecting steady business growth across both local and international markets.
A major factor behind this performance is the rising demand for ethnic food products in international markets.
The company has seen particularly strong sales growth in regions such as North America and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, where consumers continue to show increasing interest in South Asian cuisine.
Company officials said export sales have expanded significantly over the past few years and are now more than three times higher than they were in 2020.
This long-term growth highlights the company’s successful strategy of expanding its global presence.
National Foods has also focused on improving its supply chain and reducing dependence on imported raw materials. This shift toward import substitution has helped strengthen local sourcing and improve production efficiency.
The company’s main production facility at Port Qasim in Karachi continues to play a key role in manufacturing.
The plant produces a wide range of food items, including spices, sauces, and packaged products that are supplied to both domestic and international markets.
Industry observers say the company’s performance reflects a broader trend of growth in Pakistan’s packaged food sector, especially as local brands expand into global markets.
Experts believe continued investment in production efficiency, branding, and international distribution will be important for sustaining future growth.
The strong results show how Pakistani food brands are increasingly becoming competitive players in the global food industry.
