Why the Halal Meat Industry is $1T and owned by Brazil, Australia & India

Pakistan produces nearly 6 million tons of meat every year — yet exports just 2% of it. At the same time, the global halal meat market is worth over $1 trillion, and is largely dominated by non-Muslim countries like Brazil, Australia, and India. In this episode of Unlocking Growth, we unpack why — and what Pakistan needs to do to change it: How the global halal meat export system actually works Why volume alone isn’t enough to compete internationally What Brazil, Australia, and India get right (and Pakistan doesn’t — yet) The role of disease-free zones, traceability, and integrated supply chains Real unit economics of livestock farming at scale What policy shifts and private-sector models are unlocking the opportunity now This episode looks beyond slaughterhouses — and explains why export success starts upstream, at the farm level.
