Pakistan poultry has been growing pretty fast at around 8 to 10 percent a year. They produce a lot of birds something like 962 million broilers annually and that accounts for roughly 28 percent of total meat output. People eat more of it now too rising from 16 kg back in 1993 to about 26 kg. Domestic demand keeps climbing and it helps with food needs.
Regulations from 33 different departments create a lot of extra work and costs though. Electricity still carries 16 percent sales tax and there is a 10 percent withholding tax even when the products themselves are exempt. Feed stays the biggest expense and prices for maize and pulses keep swinging. It seems supply issues have cut pulse use from 15 kg down to 7 kg per person which makes things tighter for farmers.
Exporting runs into problems without the kind of support seen elsewhere. The EU helps its frozen chicken shipments but nothing similar happens here and the sector often gets left out of trade talks. Halal processing rules add another 8.5 percent or so to costs compared with places that allow stunning.
A report from CAPRIL at UVAS points to reforms that could help like fewer departments to deal with and better feed planning. Some ideas involve matching standards to what buyers want abroad. There is a lot going on here.
It feels like the industry could do more on exports if costs came down and rules eased up but not everything lines up yet. Changes might improve things overall yet the details remain a bit unclear in places.
