Under the agreement, KGTML will invest in the design and construction of a food-grade clean bulk facility, including a dedicated handling and conveyor system supported by essential infrastructure and utilities, to manage dry agricultural bulk cargo efficiently. LDC has committed to supplying inbound volumes of agricultural commodities to support the operation of the new facility.
The development is expected to enhance operational efficiency, shorten handling times and strengthen the resilience of Pakistan’s agricultural logistics network, supporting more reliable supply chains across the country.
Alongside KGTML, AD Ports Group is also developing, operating and managing the Karachi Gateway Terminal Limited (KGTL) container terminal at Karachi Port. As such Pakistan remains a strategic pillar in AD Ports Group’s wider growth plans as the maritime gateway to Central Asia.
