Achievements

Role of contractors has been abandoned since 1st July 2014. No fees and charges are levied en bloc rather in future only services used by buyers and sellers will be charged. Role of middlemen has also been lessened, that buyers and sellers should directly interact and perform business transactions which are mutually beneficial for one another. Recruitment of core staff has successfully been completed and they have taken over affairs of the company. The core team has carried out baseline of all cattle markets in DG Khan Division to assess existing services and facilities available for buyers and sellers. Based on the results of baseline, services will be outsourced and managed in best possible manner. CMMC DG Khan is engaging different stakeholders like private sector, donors, business community and allied government departments for capacity development and institutional building to offer quality services on sustainable basis.
