PM Approves Corporate Reforms, Duty-Free Imports for Livestock Sector

The Pakistani government is moving to formalize and expand its livestock industry, which accounts for over 60% of the agricultural economy and supports around 8 million rural families. Despite a large animal population valued at PKR 5.5 trillion, exports have been limited by unorganized supply chains. In fiscal year 2025-26, meat exports stood at approximately $530 million, a figure considered well below the sector's potential.
