Pakistan’s meat export sector is experiencing a notable boost due to a surge in China’s demand for frozen boiled meat. This year, Pakistan has already exported meat worth $500 million to China, with figures projected to rise further.
Organic Meat, a prominent Pakistani exporter, has responded to the growing demand by increasing its frozen meat production by 300 metric tons per month. This expansion aims to leverage China’s preference for Pakistani meat, which is favored for being free of foot-and-mouth disease. Pakistan’s strategic location and stringent livestock regulations contribute to its status as a preferred supplier.
The growing interest from China highlights the substantial potential for Pakistani meat exporters. According to an industry expert, “The Chinese market presents significant opportunities for Pakistani exporters. With improved infrastructure and quality control measures, we can further boost our exports and fully capitalize on this lucrative market.”
The increase in meat exports has also spurred other Pakistani companies to invest in the industry. This influx of investment is leading to substantial growth in the sector, creating new opportunities for farmers, processors, and exporters. The expanding meat export industry not only strengthens Pakistan’s trade relations with China but also supports economic development within the country.
