Pakistan's meat industry is currently unorganized and informal. The dairy industry has modernized but the meat industry remains at early stages of development. There is opportunity to apply lessons from dairy to improve meat production, handling, and exports. Key areas for development include establishing recognized meat breeds, improved production systems, cold chain infrastructure, export market growth, and better utilization of byproducts. The government could form a central meat authority to regulate quality, pricing, and promote a level playing field for industry stakeholders.
