The document outlines a business plan for an ostrich farming operation in Pakistan. It notes that ostriches are the largest flightless birds, can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, lay 70-100 eggs per year, and their meat and other products have a high profit potential. The plan proposes establishing ostrich farms at the district level in Sindh province with government support in the form of loans, import duties, and research assistance. The goals are to produce ostrich meat for global consumption and generate related industries like leather, pharmaceuticals, and frozen foods. Risks like disease are minimized by only selling eight-week old chicks.
