PFC to display furniture items in Mexican furniture fair

LAHORE: Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) will display Pakistani handmade world-class traditional furniture products in the Mexican International Furniture Fair to be held from May 23.

This was decided at a board of directors meeting held under the chair of PFC Chief Executive Mian Kashif Ashfaq here on Monday. He said there is no doubt that Pakistan must explore trade and investment opportunities in South American countries including Mexico, Argentina and Brazil.

He said all PFC directors discussed in details about the possibility of enhancing furniture trade in Latin America and we are all agreed that there is a great scope for Pakistani handmade furniture in Mexico. “We are talking about a huge market of around 120 million people. The average age of youth in this region is around 25 or 26, so in a few years those people will make the biggest furniture purchases ever,” he observed.
