Green Corporate Livestock Initiative drives agricultural transformation in Pakistan under SIFC

The Green Corporate Livestock Initiative (GCLI), under the umbrella of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), is leading transformative efforts in Pakistan’s agriculture and livestock sectors. By prioritizing the modernization of farming practices, GCLI is tackling pressing issues such as food security and reducing reliance on imports.

A significant achievement has been the adoption of advanced technologies in livestock breeding. Cutting-edge In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) labs and genetic enhancement programs have ushered in a new era of livestock breeding, significantly improving productivity and quality.

In another landmark move, Pakistan has launched its first Marine and Inland Aquaculture Policy, which provides a detailed roadmap for the growth of the aquaculture and fisheries industries. This policy is designed to increase domestic seafood production and create sustainable opportunities in fisheries.

GCLI is also instrumental in bridging the divide between traditional and modern farming methods, equipping livestock farmers with advanced techniques and expertise. By combining scientific innovations with traditional practices, the initiative is promoting long-term growth and sustainability in the sector.

Through these progressive measures, GCLI is paving the way for a more self-sufficient and economically robust future for Pakistan’s agriculture.
