Country Profile: Pakistan

Pakistan is a major country in South Asia with a total area of 796,096 km2 that is home to 183 million people, making it the sixth most populated country in the world after China, India, the USA, Indonesia and Brazil. It has a population growth rate which is close to 2.5 % and an economic growth rate of 3.7 %.

The increasing population and consumer purchasing power stimulates demand for inexpensive, high quality animal protein. Eggs fulfill this demand perfectly although the annual per capita consumption is 55 eggs. There are approximately 45 million laying hens in Pakistan serving a market in which the demand for white eggs is at nearly 100 %.

Egg production in Pakistan is growing at an average rate of just over 5 % per year. This means, the Pakistani egg industry is one of the fastest growing in the world. The egg industry in Pakistan is making a tremendous contribution to bridge the gap between the supply and demand of animal protein. In addition, the poultry industry of Pakistan generates employment and provides a source of income to more than 1.5 million people.

The poultry industry in Pakistan has become more professional and upgraded in its quality and capacity with the introduction of cage-farming. In order to improve domestic consumption and increased consumer awareness, the Pakistani Poultry Association is promoting advertising campaigns and the branding of eggs.

LSL is the most popular breed in Pakistan with a current market share of 28 % which is increasing continuously year by year. The base for this ongoing growth has been laid by our three customers:
