You will face much difficulty in doing so. I have tried this out and ran into a stiff wall. The reason: In all leading importers of goods into Qatar especially consumer goods, the man heading the purchase and imports are all Indians. They just do not allow consumer goods from other countries to enter the Qatar market. Also, many of the supermarkets are owned by Indians. Take LuLu for example. Pakistan products are thereby simply kept out. The are just a few things from Pakistan that come into Qatar and they include Basmati rice, pickles, mangoes and kinnow. When the BJP government in India banned the slaughter of cows, beef imports from Pakistan began, But that is all.
I tried to meet the Purchase Manager of Al Rawabi Supermarket. I talked to him several times over the phone with regards to imports from Pakistan. Went over to his office. But he always avoided me.
The message was clear.
