Pakistan, Saudi Arabia collaborate in livestock sector expansion

Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has agreed on a key partnership with Najd Gateway Holding Company of Saudi Arabia, targeting the thriving livestock sector.

Under the agreement, a substantial 5,000-acre tract will be dedicated to cultivating alfalfa, a vital cattle fodder, which will subsequently be exported.

This nutrient-rich fodder serves as a primary protein source for various livestock including dairy cattle, beef, horses, sheep, goats, and other domestic animals.

Recognizing Pakistan's fertile soil as conducive to breeding top-quality livestock products boasting high nutritional and protein value, this collaboration holds promise for bolstering the country's agricultural sector.

Alfalfa cultivation, a globally recognized fodder crop of immense importance, is practiced in numerous countries, and this venture stands poised to leverage Pakistan's agricultural potential for mutual benefit.
