Coir geotextile
Biodegradable erosion-control mesh. Nobody in Pakistan imports this systematically, and the applications are already here.
Coir geotextile is an open-weave mesh of coir yarn used to hold soil on slopes, embankments, canal banks and cut faces while vegetation establishes. It biodegrades over a few years, by which time the root system is doing the work. It is specified by weight per square metre and mesh aperture.
Pakistan has canal banks, hill-road cuttings and slope works. This material is standard practice in India, Sri Lanka and Vietnam and is barely present in Pakistan. It is worth putting in front of a contractor.

Price logic
Priced per square metre, driven by weight per m². Heavier mesh holds steeper slopes and costs more per metre but less per unit of slope held. Freight matters because rolls are bulky relative to weight — cube out before you weigh out.
