Previously, Pakistan had exported 10,000 embryos valued at $2 million to China in phases.

As per future plan, Royal Cell biotechnology, Pakistan program manager Dr Qaiser Shahzad declared China intends to import at least 300,000 buffalo embryos from Pakistan.

Given the growing demand for buffalo milk in China and the popularity of Pakistani buffaloes for their milk quality and production volume, China intends to further enhance Pakistan’s superior buffalo breed through its advance technology, he explained.
