    li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Pakistan achieves a major milestone as The Organic Meat Company Ltd (TOMCL) becomes the first Pakistani firm to qualify for direct supply to Carrefour hypermarkets across the UAE.
• Carrefour Majid Al Futtaim Hypermarkets approved TOMCL after a comprehensive audit, covering hygiene, operational systems, and food safety, with a score of 95 percent. • This approval enables TOMCL to place its products directly on Carrefour shelves in the UAE, expanding its retail footprint in a high-value international market. • The milestone is expected to increase Pakistan’s meat export volumes and introduce premium product lines across retail and foodservice sectors in the UAE. • The development strengthens Pakistan-UAE trade ties, particularly in the agriculture and halal food industries. • TOMCL’s product range includes frozen, chilled, and vacuum-packed halal meat products, now set to be widely available in UAE retail outlets. • The Carrefour audit is recognized as a global benchmark in food safety and operational excellence, highlighting TOMCL’s compliance with top-tier international standards. • The achievement may encourage more Pakistani meat exporters to pursue international retail partnerships and improve food export quality. • With growing consumer demand for clean-label and ethically sourced products, TOMCL’s organic and halal-certified offerings align with global market trends. • This success enhances Pakistan’s brand visibility in the Gulf region and boosts investor and consumer confidence in the country’s food export sector.
