Pakistan can compete in milk production: The News

Thursday, July 10, 2008
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has got potential to easily compete with New Zealand and United Kingdom in milk production, however it needs to improve its yield.

This was stated by Executive Director General, Investment Division and Board of Investment (ID&BoI) Major (R) Iqbal Ahmad while talking to UK Deputy High Commissioner Robert Gibson on Wednesday.

Gibson was accompanied by British High Commission Trade & Investment Officer Jason Mumtaz. Pakistan is the 5th largest milk producer, but its real potential remains far behind as its cows produce relatively less, he added.

He informed the delegates that Pakistan and Britain share a historical legacy which is deep-rooted between both the nations. Moreover, Pakistani expatriates who are working in the UK, not only contribute towards the national exchequer of Pakistan but also form a productive workforce of the country, he added.
