Pakistan's Poultry Exports Lag Despite Potential; Govt Eyes Tax Reforms, Logistics

Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb stated Pakistan's poultry industry has vast export potential, currently contributing only $23-24 million to total meat exports of $530 million. He identified key challenges including disease management, high feed costs, and inadequate cold-chain logistics, urging improvements to compete globally. Aurangzeb also affirmed government readiness to discuss taxation issues with the industry and curb sales tax evasion. The minister emphasized that revenue recovered from curbing sales tax evasion would support growth sectors like poultry. While not directly impacting gold, improved export performance and fiscal reforms could strengthen the Pakistani Rupee in the long term.
