The report outlines a roadmap under URAAN Pakistan to transform the country’s dairy sector into a competitive, export-oriented industry. Despite producing approximately 72 billion litres of milk annually, Pakistan’s dairy exports remain limited due to low productivity, high production costs, supply chain losses and inadequate processing.
It recommends attracting private investment, strengthening farmer–processor partnerships, improving animal genetics and disease control, expanding cold chain and processing facilities, and rationalising taxes and import duties. These reforms aim to increase value-added dairy exports, improve farmers’ incomes and strengthen food security, with export targets of US$500 million by 2030 and US$2 billion by 2035.
