<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Pakistan is set to accelerate its halal meat export ambitions under a broad transformation plan aimed at strengthening the livestock sector and expanding global market share, with officials targeting exports of around $700m by 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Ministry of National Food Security and Research official, the initiative is designed to enhance Pakistan\u2019s competitiveness in international halal meat markets while promoting value addition, improved quality standards, and a more export-oriented livestock industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategy is part of wider efforts to boost agricultural exports and ensure sustainable sectoral growth, according to APP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the livestock sector, which is viewed as a key pillar of export-led agricultural development, currently supports a population of over 250m animals. Pakistan\u2019s meat exports have shown steady growth, rising from $196m in 2015 to around $427m in 2024, while total exports crossed the $500m mark in FY2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this progress, Pakistan still accounts for less than 1% of global meat exports, indicating significant untapped potential in international markets, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the transformation plan, the sector is expected to grow at an average rate of around 6% annually, with exports projected to increase from roughly $500m to nearly $700m by 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government aims to achieve this growth by developing disease-free, traceable, and export-compliant meat value chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reform agenda includes improving livestock genetics, strengthening control of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), promoting commercial feedlot farming, upgrading cold-chain logistics, and expanding frozen and value-added meat exports, particularly to high-growth markets such as China and the Gulf region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure coordinated implementation, the government has established the National Meat Transformation & Export Council as the apex policy and oversight body. The council includes the chief ministers of all provinces along with key federal stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its mandate covers approval of a national roadmap and annual action plans, setting production, export, and disease-control targets, and harmonizing federal and provincial regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will also oversee FMD control and traceability systems, facilitate investment in feedlots and processing infrastructure, coordinate market access negotiations, and conduct quarterly reviews of progress and inter-agency coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
