Pakistan’s first donkey slaughterhouse in Gwadar is now operational and production is well underway.
Food Ministry officials informed the National Assembly Standing Committee on Food Security on Thursday that a deal has been signed with China for the export of donkey skins and bones.
A Chinese company will handle all related operations in Gwadar.
The committee chairman questioned why live donkeys were not being exported to China. Officials explained that it was a challenging process, however, applications for more slaughterhouses are being received from other parts of the country, and discussions are ongoing with more Chinese companies.
A committee member noted that donkeys are becoming less common in Pakistan as loader rickshaws have largely replaced them for transport. He suggested that efforts should be made to breed high-quality donkeys.
Apart from donkeys, duck breeding was also mentioned during the meeting.
