Cattle Farming & Meat Processing Proposed Project:
Cattle Farming & Meat Processing Proposed Project The objective of this Project is setting up a cattle farm of 2,000 heads of cows and buffalos and 5,000 heads of sheep / goats
In addition it will also have a modern abattoir and meat processing plant capable of processing 1,500 heads of sheep / goats and 200 heads of cows / buffalos per day working on a double shift basis
To be established on a 150 acre piece of land in Gharo or Pepri near Karachi on the National Highway
Ample supplies of water are available here which is essential for the cattle farm, the slaughter house and meat processing plant
A series of export oriented units may be established near the major cities with international cargo handling facilities
