Pakistan’s Meat Exports to China Hit $3.3 Million in Nine Months

Pakistan’s meat exports to China reached $3.37 million from January to September 2024, according to the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC).

Ghulam Qadir, Trade and Investment Counsellor at the Pakistan Embassy in Beijing, noted that Chinese consumers are becoming more adventurous in their culinary choices, increasingly interested in trying high-quality meat from countries like Pakistan. Pakistan’s rich tradition in meat production, particularly in beef and mutton, aligns well with the preferences of Chinese consumers. This demand is not merely a trend; it is part of China’s broader goal to diversify its meat sources and enhance food security.

Strategic Efforts Behind the Success

The achievement of this milestone is attributed to hard work and strategic planning. The Pakistani government has been supportive, implementing policies to boost export capabilities. Additionally, Pakistani meat exporters have demonstrated their ability to meet China’s strict quality standards. By ensuring hygiene and delivering a consistent supply, they have proven their competitiveness on an international level, Qadir told CEN.

Comparative Export Data

Mongolia and Pakistan are the top exporters of boiled meat to China. Pakistan exported 694 tons worth $3.371 million from January to September 2024, while Mongolia exported 2,410 tons valued at $10.24 million in the same period.

Regulatory Milestones

It is worth noting that the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) permitted Pakistani companies to export boiled meat to China last year. So far, three Pakistani companies have registered with the GACC for this purpose.
