The $1B Shrimp Industry You Never Knew About

Описание: Global shrimp is a $30 billion industry — but Pakistan’s share is almost negligible. With 1,000 km of coastline, saline inland water, and world-class projects like Dhabeji Aquafoods, shrimp farming could be Pakistan’s next billion-dollar export sector. 🦐🌍

In this episode of Pakistan & Counting: Unlocking Growth, Junaid Iqbal sits down with Saad Yousaf, COO of Dhabeji Aquafoods, to explore:
1️⃣ Why shrimp farming struggled in the past
2️⃣ How Dhabeji built Pakistan’s first super-intensive farm
3️⃣ The three profitable models of shrimp farming
4️⃣ Pakistan’s disease-free advantage in global markets
5️⃣ Who should invest, and how to get started

From Sindh’s coastal creeks to Punjab’s inland saline lands, this is a proof of concept for one of Pakistan’s most promising agri-business frontiers.
