The farm owner revealed that crocodiles take five years to mature, reaching a length of up to 21 feet and weighing nearly one ton. “Their skins are highly valuable, used in making luxury leather products. I am focusing on raising them professionally to meet international standards,” he added. Currently, ten crocodiles have been imported, and the farm owner is optimistic that once they begin laying eggs, their population will multiply rapidly. If successful, this pioneering farm could play a significant role in Pakistan’s economic growth.
