KARACHI – The Organic Meat Company Limited (TOMCL) has secured new international business, confirming export orders worth $7.5 million for cooked and heat-treated frozen boneless beef. The shipments will be made to China during the financial year 2025-26, strengthening Pakistan’s position in the global halal meat export market.
The company revealed the development in a filing to the Pakistan Stock Exchange on Wednesday. TOMCL described the deal as another step in its drive to expand into high-value overseas markets.
According to the company, these China-bound orders highlight its compliance with strict sanitary and phytosanitary standards. TOMCL said its ability to supply fully cooked halal beef that meets Chinese food safety rules shows its growing international competitiveness.
The rising demand for halal meat export to China reflects a shift toward ready-to-process protein products in the food service and retail sectors. TOMCL believes this agreement will also deepen agricultural and food trade cooperation between Pakistan and China under the CPEC framework.
This year has already seen a series of breakthroughs for TOMCL in the halal meat export industry. In August, it became the first Pakistani producer to gain direct export approval to Carrefour across the United Arab Emirates. The same month, the company secured $3.24 million worth of export orders from Tajikistan. Earlier in June, TOMCL also became the first Pakistani firm to tap into the European market.
The company noted that its success followed a rigorous Carrefour audit in which it scored 94.89 percent, demonstrating strong compliance with hygiene and operational standards.
Pakistan’s halal meat export industry continues to grow as new markets open. Earlier this year, Indonesia also announced plans to import 100,000 metric tonnes of buffalo meat from Pakistan, further boosting the country’s global trade prospects.
