KARACHI: Sindh Minister for Livestock Abdul Haq Bhurt has said there is a great export potential in livestock products to the Middle East and Far East. He was talking to delegations from various parts of Sindh province, which called on him at his office here. The output in multifarious significant aspects of animal breeding, Abdul Haq said, should be up to the mark in terms of saving the rare breeds, enhancing milk production and meat production as well as the welfare of the livestock growers. It is need of the hour that the huge amount of money being spent on animal breeding projects including artificial insemination and training of the growers in the province should be utilised properly. The benefits of the said projects should be passed on to the poor and needy with a view to upgrade their life standard and alleviate poverty by creating new vistas of job opportunities, Haq said. He also directed the concerned authorities to make all out efforts to achieve the desired results of animal breeding projects, which are underway across the province. Sindh Minister said special attention was being given to development of the livestock sector as the majority of the people in the country in general live in rural areas, who in particular depend on the agriculture and livestock as their source of earning. “Not only we should endeavour to be self sufficient in milk and meat production but we should go an extra mile to export livestock products in international market, ” the Minister said.
