ENHANCING DAIRY SECTOR EXPORT COMPETITIVENESS IN PAKISTAN3
ENHANCING DAIRY SECTOR EXPORT COMPETITIVENESS IN PAKISTANPREFACEThe development of the dairy sector and its vertical integration to produce value added internationallycompliant products is important to enhance trade opportunities for Pakistan in the global market place.Pakistan, being an agrarian economy and blessed with most appropriate weather and soil conditions isranked 4 th amongst the milk producing countries of the world. With approximately 35 million cattle and 32million buffalos making up almost 55.1% of the agriculture value added and contributing up to 11.6% of theGDP, the future high growth in agriculture is expected to be led by the livestock sector. These animalsproduce 47.95 million tons of milk besides producing other products such as hair, skins, furs and meat.The major milk producing livestock categories are cows, buffalos and sheep.Despite the fact that Pakistan’s ranking is one of the highest in the region and world, the country has notbeen able to make efficient use of this resource to export dairy products in the world market. Some of themain reasons are efficiency losses in production, lack of awareness in farmers’ and producers’communities of increasing milk yield, limited integration in the dairy value and supply chain, policy issuesand resource constraints to implement initiatives on a wider scale.This study attempts to highlight supply and trade related issues in the dairy sector that hinder its overallgrowth. An assessment of Pakistan’s regulatory structure is conducted in consultation with thestakeholders in the public and private sectors to evaluate the performance of the sector, applicability andrelevance of the existing policies to foster growth, and obtain policy options that can be recommended tothe Government of Pakistan for inclusion in its future agenda.4
