The Livestock and Dairy Development Department Punjab has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a Chinese firm. The agreement aims to increase boiled meat exports to China.
The MoU was signed at the Livestock Complex in Lahore. It also includes several local exporters. The goal is to improve production and meet international standards.
The Chinese partner, Global International, will work with six Pakistani exporters. These include Taj Meats, Syed Traders, Abdeen International, Khan Dairy, Go Foods, and PEMPCO.
The agreement focuses on value-added meat exports. It also aims to improve processing quality. This will help Pakistan access more global markets.
Syed Ashiq Hussain Kirmani said the deal will support sector growth. It is also expected to increase foreign exchange earnings.

He said around 300,000 animals are being fattened under the program. This has significantly increased meat production across the province.
The minister noted that public-private collaboration is key. It helps boost value addition and expand exports of livestock products.
