Balochistan Wool
Balochistan holds significant promise for sheep farming. Its extensive rangelands, arid conditions, and deeply rooted herding traditions create an optimal environment for cultivating superior quality sheep, yielding wool, meat, and various valuable by-products.
Nevertheless, those engaged in this sector confront numerous obstacles. These include insufficient access to adequate feed, prevalent diseases, and underdeveloped infrastructure, which collectively impede market access and complicate the establishment of standardized operational procedures.
I urge the government to extend crucial support to sheep farmers. This assistance should encompass high-quality veterinary services, dedicated breeding centers, and contemporary slaughterhouse facilities. Furthermore, offering soft loans and livestock insurance could enable farmers to expand their enterprises securely. Investing in sheep farming would undeniably uplift the livelihoods of rural communities and significantly contribute to Balochistan's economic growth.
