Food minister proposes joint working group on meat, dairy and SPS systemsFederal Minister for National Food Security and Research Rana Tanveer Hussain. The minister said Brazil is internationally recognised as a global leader in livestock production, meat processing, dairy development and agri-food exports. In contrast, Brazil exports halal meat to many Muslim countries, underscoring the importance of institutional efficiency, quality assurance and value addition. He noted that production is largely based on tropical dairy systems suited to climatic conditions similar to Pakistan's. Both sides agreed Pakistan would prepare a draft framework focusing on slaughterhouse upgrades, SPS and traceability systems, meat processing, feedlot models and dairy productivity.
