Gwadar: Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) Chairman Noor-ul-Haq Baloch this week visited a donkey slaughterhouse operated by Hangeng in the Gwadar Free Zone and was briefed on production activities, officials said.

The company also has donkey-farming operations associated with its slaughterhouse business.

During the visit, Baloch said industrial projects in the Free Zone could contribute to Pakistan’s economy and exports. He said GPA was seeking to attract investment and support industrial development in Gwadar.

The Free Zone forms part of the wider China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework and is intended to support production, processing and commercial operations linked to domestic and overseas markets.

The longer-term contribution of such projects will depend on production capacity, overseas market access, logistics and compliance with applicable animal-health and export requirements. Links with local suppliers and workers would also be important to any wider benefits for Gwadar.
