Pakistan’s meat exports to China have surpassed the $2.6 million mark from January to July 2024, according to data released by the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC).
This achievement underscores the growing demand for Pakistani meat products in the Chinese market, solidifying Pakistan’s position as a key exporter of quality meat.
Owais Mir, Chairman of the DEA Group and a leading meat exporter, highlighted that boiled beef has been the primary export item driving this growth. “The surge in popularity of Pakistani boiled beef among Chinese consumers is due to its exceptional quality and competitive pricing, making it an attractive option for importers in China,” he said.
He emphasized that this development reflected the concerted efforts by both Pakistan and China to further strengthen their economic ties.
Chaudhary Javed Saleem, a prominent figure in the meat and agriculture products industry, expressed optimism about the sustained positive trend in meat exports. He noted that both governments are committed to further strengthening economic ties and exploring new opportunities for collaboration in the agricultural sector.
Pakistan’s boiled meat exports to China during the first seven months of 2024 amounted to 540 tons, valued at $2.607 million. Mongolia and Pakistan are currently the top exporters of boiled meat to China, with Mongolia exporting 1,640 tons in the same period.
It is noteworthy that the GACC allowed Pakistani companies to export boiled meat to China last year, and to date, three Pakistani companies have been registered with the GACC for this purpose.

Pakistan’s population is 69 times more than Mongolia (240.5 million Vs 3.5 million respectively) and Mongolia’s export of boiled meat to China in the first seven months of 2024 is 3 times more than Pakistan’s. This means Mongolia is exporting 207 times more per capita than Pakistan. Who to blame in Pakistan for this miserable performance.
We cannot blame China for this since our time tested friendship with China is higher than the mountains and deeper than the deepest seas.
The factory of Fauji Meat Limited (brand name ‘Zabeeha’) is the largest meat factory in Pakistan (spread over an area of 47 acres). Its production capacity is 200 tons of red meat per day.
