January 21, 2019: Chief Executive Officer Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) Mian Kashif Ashfaq has urged the government to introduce a skill development programme for the export-oriented furniture industry in order to promote the country’s value-added sector.

He said that a tax exempted furniture sector in Pakistan will enliven the economy in general, create new jobs and increase production level.

Enveloping the idea in monetary terms, Mian Kashif Ashfaq said that Pakistan has great potential to export handmade wooden furniture worth at least $1 billion annually, if the government properly patronizes furniture industry.
