Pakistan’s camel milk could do wonders in Chinese market

The camel milk has long been produced in Pakistan while China started camel milk production only two years ago. Therefore, Chinese and Pakistani enterprises may conduct on-the-spot studies and cooperate in camel milk production and sales.

"I believe that camel milk from Pakistan will be very popular in the Chinese market,” Cheng Xizhong, a visiting professor at Southwest University of Political Science and Law, observed. 

It has been mentioned that drinking camel milk has many magical benefits including insomina cure. 

The Chinese people, who attach importance to health care, have a growing demand for camel milk. 

The volume of camel milk produced in Pakistan is much higher than that in China. The camels in Pakistan are single-humped ones and the milk yield is higher than that of China's Bactrian camels. 

The milk yield of a single-humped camel in Pakistan can reach three tons in one lactation period, while that of China`s Bactrian camel is less than one ton. In Pakistani the camel milk is available as cheaper prices than cow milk. 

The camels in Pakistan eat grasses that grow naturally as there are no hormones and other additives in the feed, so the camel milk produced in Pakistan is considered organic. 

With the population of 1.4 billion heads in 2019, while the domestic camel milk production was merely 17,000 tons, far from meeting the needs of the Chinese people. Therefore the camel milk trade could play a new role in the Belt and Road cooperation.

Dr. Munir further noted that the transformation required in Pakistan’s agri-food sector must ...
