In Pakistan, the fee of donkeys has skyrocketed to as excessive as PKR three hundred,000, driven via an growing demand from China. Donkey hides are exceptionally coveted in China to be used in cosmetics and traditional medication, leading to a vast charge surge.
This booming demand has significantly affected local markets, inclusive of Karachi’s Lehari donkey market, wherein the variety of local consumers has declined sharply.
The surge in donkey charges is attributed to China’s growing want for hides used in various cosmetic products and traditional Chinese medication referred to as “e jia.” As demand maintains to improve, donkeys are becoming a tremendously valuable commodity, with many dealers targeted on meeting the needs of the expanding Chinese market.
