The Federal Food Security Portal was presented by Chairman PITB, Azfar Manzoor, and DG IT Operations, Faisal Yousaf, along with the team. A complete demonstration of the system was given, explaining how it will enable the importers and exporters to register themselves and initiate their import/export requests without visiting the field offices for submission of applications.
Additionally, the authorized persons will use the mobile application at the entry/exit points for the inspection of commodities, whereas the importer/exporter will receive Phytosanitary Certificate on the spot. Overall, this portal will help the government in collecting first-hand information and making timely decisions on import and export policies.
