Trade Between Bulgaria and Pakistan

Bulgaria is in Southeastern Europe. Like most European countries, it is a beautiful place to visit. You will find stunning mountains, sunny beaches, and historic towns. Tourism in the country is growing, with many visitors exploring places like Sofia, the capital city. Plovdiv is also popular due to its ancient history, as it is one of the oldest cities in Europe.

From a trade standpoint and in terms of relations with Pakistan, Bulgaria also does well. There has been a good relationship between the two countries for decades now, which is also reflected in their trade. In 2023, Bulgaria exported $36.8 million to Pakistan. On the other hand, Pakistan also exported $55.1 million to Bulgaria. Those numbers indicate how well the two countries are doing in terms of trade.

Alliance Shipping for Bulgaria-Karachi Cargo

Bulgaria is one of the largest producers of lavender and rose oil. If you want to ship these items to Karachi and across Pakistan, Alliance Shipping is here to assist you. Bulgaria and Pakistan don’t share a great distance; it’s close to 4,000 km. So we use sea cargo from Bulgaria to Karachi. The sea is often an affordable option when shipping a bulk range of containers.

The average cost is significantly lower than air freight. The sea routes travel from the seaports of Bulgaria, such as the Port of Varna and the Port of Burgas, and ultimately to Karachi’s seaports, which include Bin Qasim Port and Karachi Port. We have been shipping successfully for many clients and would be happy to do the same for your Bulgaria to Pakistan shipments.

What are the shipping routes we use from Bulgaria to Karachi? Regarding sea cargo, Bulgaria has several seaports along its Black Sea coastline. We use these seaports to send cargo that travels along the Mediterranean and Arabian Sea coastal lines and arrives in Karachi.
