Abstract:
This study is aimed at potential entrepreneurs for flow of goods by road transportation
across China and Pakistan in proposed China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Instead
of giving all the transport opportunity to Chinese Transporters, this study targeted the
present situation in the CPEC route and proposed the feasible ways to achieve the freight
business on CPEC. The study has been executed with the inspiration that there is a lot of
potential for trade and cooperation between Pakistan and China on One Belt One Road
(OBOR). It should be noted that more than 500 Freight Forwarding companies are already
operating in Pakistan and it is proposed that frequent no. of freights will be moving on
CPEC in a particular time period. The study revealed that there are certain criteria to enter
into the freight business on CPEC. According to this criteria company should be public or
private limited and it must possess registration from SECP. If coordinated and a partnership
should be developed this would be able to improve the services of cross-border logistics
without a need for large-scale investments. The study suggested an alternative logistics
solution. This enhanced logistics services would facilitate supply chain solutions across the
nations. Because of globalization, the general importance of effective Supply Chain
Management would increase for businesses.
