In this chapter, the production aspects of camel like milk production, other dairy products along with meat production, hair production and draughtability are discussed. The economic contribution of the production aspects of camel have rarely been determined on national level. Similarly, the marketing aspects including market value of camel and camel products like milk, hairs and meat have not been studied so far in Pakistan. An analysis of these production and marketing aspects as in various camel habitats has been attempted. It was further revealed that Hair are generally clipped during March—April in irrigated plain, sandy deserts and coastal areas, however clipping is undertaken in April to May in mountainous areas (table 101). Camel hair in coastal belt and irrigated plains of Sindh is called as ‘Millis’. Camel hair production is presented in table 102.
