Jassar Farms Private Ltd. is a new Pakistan investment and the first in the Acumen Fund Pakistan agriculture portfolio. Jassar Farms Private Ltd. (JFPL) is a corporate dairy farming business focused on dairy and breed improvement of poor livestock farmers aiming to increase milk productivity. They achieve breed improvement in cows through artificial insemination using world-class, quality bull semen. However, small farmers in Pakistan are not able to access high-quality semen doses because the prices of these imported semen doses are too high. JFPL aims to establish a world class local semen production facility to produce top-of-the-line semen for the poor dairy farmers of Pakistan. The end product is priced keeping the poor farmers' affordability range in mind. The first calf -- named Savior -- resulting from Jassar's insemination efforts was born in early 2010.
