Strict system under way to ensure quality of
consumer goods
ISLAMABAD (April 20
2004): The government is planning to establish a
strict regulatory system to ensure the quality and
standards of consumer goods under WTO regime.
The research scholars have warned that in case
Pakistan did not come up with those counter
measures, there was every possibility that
Pakistani markets would be dumped with substandard
goods, resulting into closure of local industries.
India had also introduced mandatory quality
control of POULTRY products to keep check on
imports and maintain competitiveness of the local
products in line with the international standards.
According to official sources the share of
LIVESTOCK sector in the foreign exchange earnings
was 12 percent and it could be enhanced to a
reasonable level through active participation by
private and public sector for the development of
the industry.
While citing the examples as to how the global
POULTRY market was responding to new opportunities
and challenges, the sources said that public
health and food safety had got new prominence
under international trading regimes and the
premium in terms of market access could only be
benefited if competitiveness in terms of cost and
quality was created in POULTRY products.
With those measures, they added, the POULTRY would
become a global product, which could then be sold
with confidence and certainty.
The sources said that relevant research priorities
were required in order to make investments in the
human resource for capacity building in the face
of emerging WTO regime.
Readjustments in terms of efficiency and quality
management in change management perspective should
be made to achieve the goal and as the competition
was ruthless and survival was of the fittest only,
as markets and economic were the only denominator
for success in trade under the new world order,
they added.
