Pakistan’s meat and meat product exports have hit a record high, reaching $512 million, a notable 20% increase from last year’s $426 million. This growth is attributed to a robust 24% rise in export volume, which totaled 123,515 tonnes.
The surge in exports underscores a strong global demand for Pakistani meat, bolstered by the devaluation of the Pakistani rupee, which has made these products more competitive on the international stage.
Despite the overall positive trend, the average global meat price fell by 3%, dropping to $4.1 per kilogram. This price dip was influenced by reduced export values to the UAE, though prices in other markets remained stable.
This impressive performance highlights Pakistan’s potential for expanding its agricultural and food product markets globally, even amid economic challenges. The consistent rise in export volume indicates that Pakistan’s meat industry is strategically positioned to leverage growing international demand, especially in markets that value the quality and affordability of Pakistani meat products.
