Donkey prices surge in Pakistan amid increasing demand from China
Pakistan is facing a sudden surge in donkey prices amid a growing demand from China to source them for its multi-billion-dollar ejiao industry, PTI reported. A Pakistani donkey cart owner said, "A donkey now costs...PKR 2,00,000...way too high than...PKR 30,000 I paid to buy Tiger (his recently deceased donkey) eight years ago." Ejiao is a gelatin derived from donkey hide.
