Pakistan, Jan. 25 -- Pakistan's exports of boiled meat to China surged 177 percent year on year in export value in 2025, according to data released by China's General Administration of Customs (GACC), highlighting a sharp expansion in bilateral agri-food trade and China's growing appetite for diversified, halal-certified protein products.

Chinese customs data shows that Pakistan shipped 2.38 million kilograms of boiled beef under HS code 16025090, with exports valued at $14.52 million.
