Organic Meat Company Begins Operations at Karachi Export Processing Zone 2025

Organic Meat Company

In a major development for Pakistan’s meat and livestock export industry, the Organic Meat Company Limited (TOMCL) has officially started its operations at the Karachi Export Processing Zone (EPZ). The move marks a significant step toward boosting value-added halal meat exports, creating new opportunities for local farmers, and strengthening Pakistan’s presence in the global meat supply chain.

Why This Move Matters

Pakistan is one of the world’s largest livestock-producing countries, yet its share in the international halal meat market has been relatively small. By launching operations at the Karachi EPZ, TOMCL aims to:

Increase halal meat exports to the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Ensure compliance with international food safety and quality standards.
Provide local farmers with a sustainable supply chain and fair prices.
Strengthen Pakistan’s foreign exchange earnings through exports.

Facilities at Karachi EPZ

The new TOMCL facility in the Export Processing Zone is equipped with:

Modern Processing Units – For halal slaughtering, packaging, and storage.
Cold Chain Logistics – Ensuring fresh, hygienic delivery of meat products.
International Standard Certification – Meeting the requirements of importing countries.
Export-Oriented Production – Designed to cater specifically to global demand.

With these facilities, TOMCL plans to scale up exports of frozen, vacuum-packed, and processed meat products.

Economic Benefits for Pakistan

This milestone is expected to bring multiple economic advantages, including:

Job Creation: Hundreds of employment opportunities for skilled and unskilled workers.
Export Growth: Expansion of Pakistan’s halal meat exports to new destinations.
Agricultural Uplift: Farmers gain better market access and consistent demand for livestock.
Foreign Exchange Earnings: Boosting the national economy through higher export revenues.

Company’s Vision

The Organic Meat Company has consistently focused on sustainable practices, halal integrity, and quality assurance. Speaking at the inauguration, the company’s spokesperson highlighted:

“Our expansion into the Karachi Export Processing Zone reflects our mission to put Pakistan at the forefront of the global halal meat industry. We are committed to ensuring quality, transparency, and innovation in every step of our operations.”

Boost for Pakistan’s Halal Industry

The global halal meat market is valued at hundreds of billions of dollars, with rising demand in Muslim-majority countries and beyond. By operating from the Karachi EPZ, TOMCL will be able to compete effectively with exporters from countries like Brazil, Australia, and India.

Industry experts believe this development will encourage more Pakistani firms to invest in value-added meat exports, moving away from raw livestock trading toward processed, certified products that meet global demand.

Future Expansion Plans

TOMCL is also exploring opportunities to:

Introduce ready-to-cook halal meat products for international consumers.
Expand supply to supermarkets and food chains worldwide.
Collaborate with government authorities to improve livestock health and breeding practices.

Such steps will not only strengthen Pakistan’s image as a reliable halal meat exporter but also support the country’s agricultural sector.

Conclusion

The launch of The Organic Meat Company’s operations at the Karachi Export Processing Zone is a landmark achievement for Pakistan’s meat industry. By combining modern technology, global certifications, and sustainable practices, TOMCL is positioning Pakistan as a key player in the international halal food market.

This initiative will benefit farmers, create jobs, increase exports, and enhance foreign exchange reserves—a much-needed boost for the national economy. With this step, Pakistan moves closer to realizing its potential as a global hub for halal meat exports.
