In its 49 years of service to the Nation, PASSCO played a significant role in Pakistan’s success in transforming the crisis management oriented food security into a stable food security system to ensure availability, accessibility, affordability of food grains specially wheat at national level to all wheat deficit provinces i.e Gilgit Baltistan, KPK, Balochistan, AJK and Armed Forces of Pakistan .

From a handful of employees working at hired sites to a full scale corporation dealing in international trade, incorporating tech savvy solutions for our partners, we have grown as an organization both in culture and in practice.

At PASSCO we are committed to work in collaboration with the Federal Government and the Pakistani farmer creating a win-win solution for ourselves and our partners in business.

We provide leadership on food and agriculture, based on sound public policy, the best available science, and efficient management.
