“India is home to the world’s largest livestock population and contributes 30.23% to agricultural GVA and 5.5% to the national economy. With stronger cold-chain and processing infrastructure, and faster adoption of innovation, we can evolve from being the world’s largest producer to one of its most influential exporters. CLFMA remains committed to working with all stakeholders to turn this vision into reality.”
To drive this transformation, CLFMA has proposed the establishment of:
- Export Oriented Zones (EOZs)
- Livestock Export & Domestic Development Authority
These strategic initiatives will enhance ease of doing business, strengthen global competitiveness, and open new export opportunities for the Indian poultry and livestock sector.
