CHINA’S MEAT MARKET: The special assistant expressed the hope that Pakistan’s textile sector would get the maximum benefit from this agreement. Besides, she said that the agriculture sector, leather product producers, confectionery and biscuits producers would also take full advantage of the agreement.

The Chinese media reported that China’s demand for meat imports is very large, and many exporters from Pakistan hope to sign a one-year contract immediately once China opens Pakistani meat exports, said Adnan Hafeez, secretary-general of the Preparatory Committee of the China-Pakistan Chamber of Commerce.

China has been importing meat from Vietnam, Brazil, and Australia to meet domestic demand. He said that once the quality of Pakistani beef and other meat meets China’s inspection and quarantine standards, they can enter the Chinese market.

According to data from market research and corporate management consulting company Market Insights, the global Halal food market is expected to grow 12.7 percent in the coming years. Pakistan has a considerable share of the Halal market and is in a good position. Pakistan has a relatively developed livestock industry and is the fourth largest meat producer in the world in terms of total livestock production.

The total livestock population in Pakistan is growing at a rate of 4.2 percent per year. Pakistan’s meat is currently mainly being exported to Gulf countries, Vietnam and Malaysia.
