The recent launch of Pakistan’s largest pilot shrimp farming project in Muzaffargarh by Punjab’s Chief Minister marks a significant step in the country’s aquaculture sector. This initiative aims to transform barren lands into productive shrimp farming zones, targeting the expansion to 100,000 acres in Punjab and creating around 10,000 to 20,000 jobs. Offering high profitability and extensive government support, the project is set to boost exports and enhance local farmers’ livelihoods. With plans to generate foreign exchange earnings up to $1 billion, shrimp farming is poised to be a game-changer for Pakistan’s economy.
