ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan has begun its first export of camel milk powder to China, marking a significant milestone in the country's expanding agricultural and dairy export sectors

The export is being carried out in partnership with two prominent Chinese companies namely The One HK Holding Ltd and Xi'an "TUO ZHONG TUO" Biotechnology Limited Company.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, Federal Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain stated that this venture opens new avenues for Pakistan's dairy products in the international market and demonstrates the untapped potential of the country's agricultural sector. He emphasised that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan's agriculture sector is being revitalised and will continue to expand, offering more opportunities for innovation, employment, and economic growth.

"This achievement is not only a testament to our capabilities but also an inspiration for others to explore international collaboration in emerging sectors," the Minister said.

"The Ministry of National Food Security and Research remains fully committed to supporting such innovative efforts that boost exports, create jobs, and strengthen the national economy," he added.

The establishment of this camel milk powder export venture has already generated numerous employment opportunities and represents a major boost to Pakistan's economy, positioning the country as a competitive player in specialized dairy exports.
