Goat Farming: A Profitable Business with Minimal Investment
Multan: Deputy Director Livestock, Dr. Jamshaid Akhtar, has highlighted the profitability of goat farming in Pakistan, emphasizing its low investment requirements and significant financial benefits. Speaking to APP, he stated that goats are reared for multiple purposes, including milk, meat, hide, and other by-products, making goat farming an attractive option, especially for rural communities.
According to Dr. Jamshaid Akhtar, one of the biggest advantages of goat farming is its adaptability. “Goats can thrive in diverse environmental conditions and require relatively low maintenance compared to other livestock,” he explained. Their ability to survive on minimal resources makes them an ideal choice for farmers looking for a cost-effective business model.
The rising demand for goat meat and milk in both local and international markets further boosts the economic potential of goat farming. As a result, more farmers are showing interest in this venture, with many benefiting from its steady revenue streams. Experts suggest that proper breed selection, healthcare management, and modern farming techniques can enhance productivity and profitability.
With its sustainable nature and growing market demand, goat farming continues to be a viable and rewarding business opportunity for small-scale farmers and entrepreneurs in Pakistan.
