Crocodile farming has officially begun in Pakistan to support the leather industry and tourism. The farm is located in one of Sindh’s hottest districts, Jacobabad, where a local landowner has taken this unique step at Bhambhore Farmhouse, a village near the city. These reptiles, usually found in swamps and ponds, now roam freely in a controlled environment.

The farm owner stated that crocodiles take five years to mature, growing up to 21 feet long and weighing nearly one ton. “Their skins are highly valuable and used in making luxury leather products. I am focusing on raising them professionally to meet international standards,” he added. This initiative could strengthen Pakistan’s presence in the global leather market.

Currently, the farm has ten imported crocodiles. The owner expects their population to grow quickly once they start laying eggs. With successful breeding, this farm could become a major supplier for the leather industry.

If this venture succeeds, it could significantly influence Pakistan’s economic growth. The combination of leather production and tourism potential makes crocodile farming an innovative step in the country’s business landscape.
