Pakistan Can Export Ample Milk To Malaysia: Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 25 (Bernama)-- Pakistan, one of the world's largest milk producers, will be able to meet Malaysia's need for milk as it produces more than 34 million tonnes annually, the Pakistan High Commission's commerce counsellor, Majid Qureshi, said today.

The imported milk could either be fresh or in powdered form, he told Bernama on the sidelines of the Business Leaders Meetings in conjunction with the D8 Ministers' Meeting on Food Security conference here today.

Currently, Malaysia imports about eight million tonnes of milk and milk powder annually from other countries, particularly New Zealand and Australia.

Qureshi said Malaysian companies with technical expertise and funds could invest in Pakistan to further develop the sector.

He also said that Pakistan would be able to provide ample Halal meat to Malaysia.
