Pakistan Ranks 11th in Global Broiler Production, Producing 97 Million Birds Monthly
Pakistan has solidified its position as the 11th largest broiler producer in the world, with an estimated 97 million broilers produced each month. This remarkable growth highlights the country’s expanding poultry industry, which plays a crucial role in ensuring food security and economic stability.
The poultry sector in Pakistan contributes significantly to the national economy, providing employment to over 1.5 million people and supplying a major portion of the country’s protein needs. With increasing demand for chicken meat, the industry continues to evolve through modern farming techniques, improved feed quality, and biosecurity measures.
Despite the industry’s growth, challenges such as rising feed costs, disease outbreaks, and fluctuating market prices pose significant hurdles. However, poultry farmers and industry stakeholders remain optimistic, focusing on technological advancements and sustainable farming practices to further boost production.
Experts believe that government support, investment in research, and better supply chain management can help Pakistan climb higher in the global broiler production rankings. As consumer demand for affordable and high-quality poultry products rises, Pakistan’s poultry sector is set to grow even further, contributing to both domestic food security and economic development.
