Pakistan Economic Survey 2025-26 — Livestock Sector Outlook

The Pakistan Economic Survey 2025-26 (Ministry of Finance) reports livestock as the largest agriculture sub-sector, accounting for approximately 62% of agricultural value added and 14.4% of national GDP. Livestock GDP grew 3.75% in FY2025-26, supported by milk, meat, and poultry expansion.

The poultry industry alone recorded gross value addition of about Rs 999 billion, with an average annual growth rate of 8.1% over the past decade.
