Pakistan has a large meat industry focused on beef, mutton, and poultry production. Total meat production in 2009-2010 was nearly 3 million tons. However, the industry is largely undeveloped and relies on traditional low-input systems. There is significant potential to improve productivity, introduce value-added processing, develop modern supply chains and export markets, particularly for the large halal market. Establishing modern abattoirs, livestock farms, and poultry processing plants could help Pakistan better utilize its large livestock populations and meet growing global meat demand.

2. Meat
Meat is animal flesh that is eaten as food.
• The importance of meat and meat animals - Quranic versus:
