During the meeting, it was emphasized that the formal dairy sector has played an important role in import substitution, employment generation, and the promotion of veterinary and technical expertise.

Policy Reforms for Dairy Farming Sector
Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan stated that Pakistan’s dairy and livestock sector possesses immense potential.

He said that providing businesses with affordable financing and easier access to capital could help promote modern technology, value addition, and exports.
He further stressed that alongside policymaking, effective implementation is equally essential to create a business-friendly environment and strengthen the formal economy.
