Synopsis (short abstract) Many of the people living in Pakistan’s Balochistan Province suffer from high levels of under-employment and poverty. Balochistan is one of the poorest provinces in Pakistan. About 80 percent of its population live in rural areas. Herding of goats and sheep forms the backbone of the local economy. The wool value chain is particularly vital for the employment and incomes of many of the province’s inhabitants. Lack of access to modern technology is keeping labour productivity and incomes very low.

    The specific objectives of this study are to document the business models at the different nodes of the poultry value chain, to assess the profitability of the different segments of the poultry industry, and to preliminarily assess the current biosecurity measures adopted by the different businesses. The study covered 4 districts in 2 governorates (Menoufia & Qalyubia). The surveyed poultry businesses are profitable yet face limited growth prospects due to internal weaknesses and external challenges. The internal weaknesses are related to the maturity of the business operations and limited adoption of biosecurity practices, which often result in reduced profitability and public health threats; the external challenges are related to the volatile market conditions, which have been exacerbated by the COVID 19 pandemic.
