Potato and onion export from Pakistan from Ibrahim Logistics: Container freight and clearance for potatoes, onions and other vegetables to the Gulf, Sri Lanka and Asia.
Potatoes and onions are exported to the Gulf, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and other Asian markets. They travel in ventilated or reefer containers, and good packing, curing and fast clearance matter because the cargo is perishable.
We book the right container, coordinate loading at the farm or packing house, arrange the phytosanitary certificate and handle export clearance. We also watch any export policy changes that can affect vegetable shipments.

- Weigh the stuffed container (VGM) – overweight boxes are rolled at the terminal.
- Ask for the free days (demurrage / detention) in writing before booking.
- Use ISPM-15 treated pallets; untreated wood is refused in many countries.
