The Government of Punjab, Pakistan’s largest agricultural province, is proposing minimum standards for imported semen that would severely restrict farmer access to improved dairy and beef semen. The move seems to stem from a provincial preference for traditional low-yielding cattle. Pakistan has an enormous and varied dairy sector. Given the national emphasis on expanding milk and beef production, it is not clear why the province would seek to limit farmer access to livestock technology.
