We started doing business in Pakistan in 1984, and today our operations comprise the trading and handling of animal feed, agricultural commodities and industrial products. We have one office in Pakistan that is located in Karachi. 

Our business scope 

We are one of the largest importers of palm oil and palm oil products into Pakistan. We serve the local market with RBD* palm olien, RBD* palm oil as well as crude palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia. 

We are also among the largest exporters of raw cotton grown in the country. We procure raw cotton bales from local gins for export to regional markets including China, Thailand and Vietnam. Through appointed agents we also import quality cotton meeting customer specifications. 

Our other business activities include: 

• Animal feed: Through a network of local agents, we focus on serving Pakistan’s livestock industry with LNB branded premix – a mineral and / or vitamin supplement that farmers and feed manufacturers use to make complete feeds– as well as milk replacers used in rearing calves. 
• Agricultural commodities: Through local agents, we not only export locally sourced wheat but also import raw and refined sugar for local food and beverage manufacturers and sugar refineries. 
• Ferrous: Also through a local agent, we provide steel products and ferrous raw materials to a local steel mill customer. 

A good corporate citizen 

We strive to be a good corporate citizen of Pakistan. In 2009, our employees and businesses donated USD 100,000 to help refugees returning to Swat Valley rebuild their lives after they were displaced by a conflict. USD 25,000 went to the World Food Program to provide food aid to returning families, while Mercy Relief received USD 75,000 to establish a Maternity and Children Healthcare Center in Mingora that now provides general, pediatric and maternity care. 

We are also supporting disaster relief efforts in Pakistan. For example, to help victims of the 2005 earthquake in Azad Kashmir, as well as the devastating floods of 2010, we donated close to USD 100,000 as well as food and supplies. On both occasions our employees in Pakistan also contributed a portion of their salaries to these causes.
