The federal government of Pakistan has announced a major initiative to begin production of high-quality camel milk powder, marking an important step in the country’s agricultural and food sector development.
According to official details shared on June 7, 2026, the high-value camel milk powder project will cost around 1 billion rupees. For the upcoming financial year, an allocation of 85 million rupees has been proposed to start the development phase of the project.
Officials say the initiative is designed to support rural and arid regions, especially areas where camel farming is common. The project is also expected to help Pakistan earn valuable foreign exchange by exporting camel milk products to international markets.
Camel milk is known for its nutritional and medicinal benefits, and global demand for camel-based dairy products has been increasing. Pakistan, with its large camel population, is considered well-positioned to enter this growing market.

In addition to this project, the Ministry of National Food Security and Research has also proposed a total budget of 32 billion rupees for the next financial year. This includes funding for eight new food security projects worth 9.25 billion rupees, as well as 22.75 billion rupees for ongoing initiatives.
The government has also proposed launching a new potato seed production and distribution center to improve agricultural output and support farmers across the country.
Officials believe these projects will strengthen Pakistan’s food security system, improve agricultural productivity, and create new economic opportunities in rural areas.
Overall, the camel milk powder initiative is being seen as a unique and innovative step that could help Pakistan expand into value-added dairy production while supporting farmers and boosting exports in the coming years.
