Exporters said the sharp rise reflects improved market access for Pakistani meat processors, stronger compliance with Chinese sanitary and halal standards, and rising demand across China\u2019s major consumption centres.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Within China, the top destinations were primarily economically advanced, high-consumption regions. Jiangsu Province emerged as the largest market for Pakistani meat products, importing nearly 1.0 million kilograms worth $5.08 million. It was followed by Zhejiang Province, which imported 458,595 kilograms valued at $3.66 million, and Tianjin, with 510,520 kilograms worth $3.50 million. Significant volumes also entered Guangdong Province, China\u2019s largest consumer market, along with smaller but growing shipments to Xinjiang, Shandong, Hainan, and Hunan.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On average, Pakistan\u2019s meat exports to China were priced at approximately $6.11 per kilogram, positioning the country competitively while supplying value-added products rather than low-margin raw meat. Industry analysts said this price\u2013quality balance has made Pakistani products attractive to Chinese importers serving food processing, catering, and retail segments.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Experts attribute the rapid increase to multiple factors. Chinese consumers are increasingly shifting toward ready-to-cook and processed meat products, while Pakistan has expanded the number of export-approved slaughterhouses and processing facilities that meet Chinese regulatory requirements. Improvements in cold-chain logistics, smoother customs procedures and the use of bonded trade channels\u2014particularly through Hainan\u2014have also reduced delivery time and costs.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Compared with other suppliers, Mongolia remained China\u2019s largest import source of prepared bovine meat in this category, shipping 4.37 million kilograms valued at $18.53 million, largely benefiting from geographic proximity and border trade with Inner Mongolia. Mongolia\u2019s meat exports to China were priced at approximately $4.23 per kilogram. By contrast, the United States exported only 18,099 kilograms worth $68,033, reflecting a different market focus and product mix.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Industry observers noted that Pakistan has substantial room to further expand its footprint in the Chinese market. Moving up the value chain through seasoned and portioned products, investing in cold-chain infrastructure, strengthening branding partnerships with Chinese distributors, and accelerating certification of additional processing plants could significantly boost exports in the coming years.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Abdullah, a Pakistani meat exporter to China, said demand is rising across China\u2019s coastal and inland provinces alike. Pakistan\u2019s 2025 performance, he added, signals a structural shift toward more stable, large-scale meat exports to China, reinforcing the growing depth of economic cooperation between the two countries.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Zafar Hussain BEIJING, Jan 24 (APP):Pakistan\u2019s exports of boiled meat to China surged 177 percent year on year in export value in 2025, according to data released by China\u2019s General Administration of Customs (GACC), highlighting a sharp expansion in bilateral agri-food trade and China\u2019s growing appetite for diversified, halal-certified protein products.
