A Message from Our CEO
Building a Commercially Viable Livestock Sector for All of Pakistan
The overarching goal of Pakistan’s agriculture policy is to make the sector productive, profitable, and globally competitive. Livestock — contributing 12% of national GDP — is central to that ambition.
LDDB was established under Section 42 of the Companies Ordinance to fast-track development of this vital sector. Our mandate is to coordinate public and private sector efforts — deploying technology and capital to transform livestock from subsistence farming into a modern, commercially profitable industry.
We will work together with provincial and district governments, the private sector, and international partners to usher in Pakistan’s White Revolution — a quantum leap in milk and meat production, rural employment, and foreign exchange earnings.
“Let us work together for the development of livestock — for economic growth, poverty alleviation, and Pakistan’s White Revolution.”
Dr. Mastan Ali, CEO — Livestock & Dairy Development Board
