They need to focus on halal food industry. It is a huge export potential, even India has a huge share of the halal market.

Turkey is an important market in this area. I hope the Pakistani state is also adding export plans to these policies.

They should also work and promote Rabbit farming. One of the easiest farming while giving the best meat you can have. It gives you white meat and without any health issues and is also very cheap if farmed properly. The only thing that needs to be done is to educate the public.

I think this is being done to take over the supply from india.

Good initiative. But a lot also needs to be done to produce high quality local feed and vaccinations, and train farmers.

The likes of New Zealand and Australia thrive on their dairy and meet industries. Pakistan can too!
