Dear Readers,
You ever wonder about a few capabilities unique to Pakistan? Countries have certain symbolic exports. South Korea has Samsung cell phones; Germany for Mercedes cars, America for McDonalds, China for toys, Japan for walkman.
What can Pakistan manufacture and export in the next 10 years that brings good name to our beloved country?
Dont forget footballs. Any decent football comes form Pakistan.
Surgical suplies, leather, cricket equipment ...

Brand name! No popular brand name that clearly tells people to buy that brand for quality product.
I don't see footballs contributing significantly to Pak exports either.
TBH I cant really think of a brand that is symon with Pakistan. Most of the exports are like mangoes for example. You know it's from Pakistan from the taste but you dont remember the brand if any.
ChenOne
the originally Chenab Fabrics
a very popular brand name from Pakistan 
achar, hockeysticks 
Its very simple, there is no brand name because we have no industry. Our industry consists of a few limited companies that are pathetic and would not stand international competition. Did you know 50% of our economy consists of services. Imagine how much is agriculture then? Pakistan is one of the few countries to complete skip the industrial revolution in its economic development.
We have the biggest export the world has ever seen - AlQaida - made in Pakistan.
We are also the world leaders in pirated dvd's and software even though unfortunately Singapore and China still are considered to be world beaters in this field by the misinformed general public.
Unfortunately we have lost our crown of being the biggest exporters of heroin.
And off course our most famous export has to be us - human resource - the pak nation that has entrenched itself all over the world and in years to come will emerge as a very potent force in shaping the world !!

Al-qaeda doesnt count, its a foreign trade name. A company started by the Americans outsourced to the Pakistanis.:)
Don't forget the Taliban.

Cmon guys! Do not berate my country. You know me I can go after top guppies without any qualms. The only thing I hate is people who try to put down Pakistan and Pakistani people.
My contacts in US and UK tell me that Shaan is a very reputable brand when it comes to spices. I have also heard about Zebra brand Basmati rice.
What I haven't heard about are the brand names in fine steel cutlery, or exquisite furniture.
Electronics brand names may take another 15 years. Let's all strive for bringing up someone like Samsung or Sony with a Pakistani flare.
