Pakistan’s meat exports to China recorded a sharp rise in 2025, with export value increasing by 177 percent year-on-year, reflecting expanding bilateral agri-food trade and growing Chinese demand for halal-certified meat products.
According to China’s General Administration of Customs, Pakistan exported 2.38 million kilograms of boiled beef valued at $14.52 million. Major destinations included Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Tianjin and Guangdong provinces, indicating strong demand in China’s high-consumption coastal regions.
Industry experts attributed the growth to improved market access, compliance with Chinese sanitary and halal standards, expansion of approved processing facilities, and better cold-chain logistics. Analysts believe Pakistan has strong potential to further increase exports by moving toward higher value-added meat products.
