Pakistan’s trade with the United States is expected to grow in the coming years as per various reports and data from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and other official bodies. Pakistan and United States have a strong economic and commercial relationship with robust two-way trade and Pakistan is one of United States’ largest trading partners. “Back in the early 1980s, K&N along with Sind Feeds, Mehran Feeds and Pak Feed Industries imported the first consignment of U.S. soybean meal. At that time, cotton seed and rapeseed were being used as the main feed ingredient both of which have anti-nutritional factors. Poultry performance was not optimal. We worked tirelessly to lift Pakistan’s ban on imported soybean meal in the 1980s and witnessed the performance of our chickens improve substantially. With the help of U.S. Soybeans, Pakistan’s poultry sector expanded exponentially over decades to meet the growing demand for protein,” said Khalil Sattar, Chief Executive of K&N’s and Patron in Chief of the PPA.
