U.S.-based food to agriculture company Cargill is expecting to invest $200 million into Pakistan in the next three to five years.

Cargill said that it will invest across its agricultural trading and supply chain, edible oils, dairy, meat and animal feed businesses while ensuring safety and food traceability.

With the investment, Cargill aims to enhance the flourishing dairy industry in Pakistan as well as edible oils backed by evolving consumption patterns and animal feed driven by sustained progress made by the poultry industry in Pakistan.

The proposed plan will support Pakistan’s overall economic development and contribute to local employment.
