Donkey At the same time, china is also buying and accumulating something from pakistan in competition. You may ask what pakistan has that china does not have. china is buying and accumulating Pakistani donkeys. Due to this, it can be said that a new economy has emerged in Pakistan. Let's look at the reason and background for this.
Pakistan has been experiencing a significant increase in the number of donkeys in recent times. The pakistan Department of Statistics has reported that the number of donkeys in pakistan has now crossed 6 million. This means that pakistan is now in third place in the list of countries with the most donkeys in the world, after ethiopia and Sudan. The number of donkeys has been increasing rapidly in the last few years. What is happening in pakistan Donkeys play an important role in Pakistan's informal economy, i.e. in low-wage jobs including pulling loads. They are widely used in brick kilns, agriculture, transportation, and waste collection. Until the last few years, the value of its donkeys was also low. However, as china has been buying donkeys from pakistan for some time, its price has also started to rise sharply. What is the reason? Donkey skins are used as an important raw material in the production of Aegean. Ejiao is a gelatin used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is made by boiling donkey skin. The Chinese believe that this ejia can increase immunity.

It was originally prepared from donkeys in China. However, due to the increased demand for this gelatin, the number of Chinese donkeys has started to decrease in the last few years. The number of donkeys that was at its peak in the 1990s has now decreased to one-fifth. This is why china has come to Pakistan. Even in pakistan, china is buying more donkeys, which has increased the price. In Pakistani markets, the price of good donkeys is now Rs. 1.50 lakh to Rs. 2 lakh. Donkey Farm China's ejia industry has grown by 160% in the last 5 years. Due to this, millions of donkey skins are needed every year. This has opened up a huge economy in Pakistan. With the increasing demand and sale of donkeys, discussions are underway in pakistan to set up donkey farms like chicken farms. A Chinese delegation also met Pakistan's minister for National Food Security and Research Rana Tanveer Hussain in april to discuss this.  Setting up donkey farms will create jobs in donkey care, fodder, and farm management. There is no doubt that this will create a huge economy in Pakistan.
