The event attracted more than 400 delegations from 55 countries, while China has the largest delegation participating in the Expo. He added. At the expo, meat booths attracted a lot visitors. “Pakistan is one of the world’s leading cattle and buffalo producers. We have the second-largest population of buffaloes and sixth-largest cattle population in the world. We can produce high-quality buffalo meat.” Umair Ahmad Khan, who used to target Gulf States, Middle Eastern states and Central Asian countries as the main market, is now trying to export heat-treated meat, frozen beef and boneless meat to China.
