From Dera Ismail Khan to the whole country
Relatives visiting Dera often leave with a box of dhakki dates or a tin of sohan halwa, and the same gifts can now travel without a visit. An online store lets a local sweet shop or date packer sell straight to families in Lahore, Karachi or Islamabad, especially before Ramzan and Eid. Food listings must meet the Seller Policy's safety, expiry and labelling requirements, and cash on delivery builds trust.
