UN Comtrade records Pakistan’s reported exports under HS 1006 for January through December. The heading includes paddy, brown, milled and broken rice. Values are in current US dollars. Net tonnes are reported kilograms divided by 1,000. The table ranks countries by value, so a larger shipped weight can appear lower in the table. Product mix affects the value per tonne.
