The most recent development in Pakistan's Senate Standing Committee on National Food Security and Research involves a critical review of the Ministry of National Food Security and Research's performance, particularly concerning food safety and agricultural research initiatives. According to Profit by Pakistan Today, the committee, chaired by Senator Syed Masroor Ahsan, expressed dissatisfaction with the implementation of food safety measures and emphasized the need for stronger oversight and enhanced capacity of institutions to meet both national and international standards. The committee also endorsed several Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) projects, including those aimed at strengthening agricultural and livestock research systems, such as the Arid Zone Research Institute in Umerkot. The committee highlighted the importance of preserving indigenous livestock breeds and recommended expanding a camel milk powder project to other provinces like Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where camel populations are significant.
