Pakistan produces a diverse range of high-quality agricultural and non-agricultural goods, inviting the interest of international buyers worldwide. Yet, purchasing from this region often presents certain challenges, such as locating reliable vendors, ensuring product quality standards, navigating complex logistics, enduring prolonged procurement to shipping times, and facing limited variety in importable items.

To simplify the trading process for global buyers, the Global Commodity Trading Platform (GCTP) introduces an innovative e-commerce platform specifically designed for bulk commodity trading. This digital platform links international buyers with verified sellers of both agricultural and non-agricultural commodities in Pakistan, efficiently managing every aspect of the trading process.


GCTP transcends the traditional trade finance system, fostering a more streamlined and efficient modus operandi. It provides a one-stop solution, amalgamating all required services at one central hub, thus significantly decreasing complexity and enhancing user-friendliness. It offers a first-rate logistics marketplace, ensures quality certifications by credible assayers, and handles all necessary export certifications. GCTP promises global delivery to any selected port, offering competitive pricing by eradicating numerous intermediaries. This platform is commodity-neutral, accommodating a broad spectrum of commodities to provide an exhaustive and efficient method to facilitate bulk commodity trading.

Marking a significant milestone, GCTP is the first platform in the world that merges a trading platform with comprehensive logistics for bulk commodities. In collaboration with a myriad of logistics partners, GCTP has built a comprehensive logistics ecosystem comprising shipping lines, freight forwarders, customs agents, insurance companies, globally recognized assayers, and warehouses. GCTP offers these logistics services at competitive prices to buyers and sellers.

Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Pakistan Mercantile Exchange Limited (PMEX), the country’s only multi-commodity futures exchange, GCTP is ready to set a new precedence in commodity trading.

For buyers, GCTP provides access to diverse verified sellers offering commodities certified by international assayers. Buyers can now acquire quality-guaranteed goods at competitive rates and have their purchases delivered to their chosen port with a few simple clicks.

For sellers, GCTP is a revolutionary platform, enabling them to sell commodities globally and receive swift payment without requiring export registration. The platform also assists sellers in export documentation, providing an opportunity to display their products in new markets, thereby attracting potential buyers worldwide.

Poised to transform the commodity trading landscape, GCTP will cultivate a vibrant online community of buyers and sellers. This platform empowers them to leverage online commodity trading and connect with the global market from the convenience of their own homes with just a few clicks.
