This step is part of the government’s plan to bring new technologies and practices to Pakistan’s agricultural sector. The aim is to increase crop production and yields for Pakistani farmers.

The Prime Minister said the government will pay all the expenses for the students’ training program in China. He has instructed the Pakistani ambassador to China and other officials to work with the Chinese authorities to finalize all the arrangements.

Not only that, but PM Shehbaz has also invited a top Chinese agricultural university to open a campus in Pakistan. He promised full support from the Pakistani government to help set up this new campus.

During his recent visit to the Yangling base in China, the Prime Minister toured different sections, including an exhibit showcasing Pakistani agricultural products. He was accompanied by several federal ministers.

At the base, PM Shehbaz learned about the research collaborations happening there between 26 countries, with Pakistan being one of the pioneering partners. Pakistani scientists and universities are making important contributions to this research.

The Prime Minister emphasized that as an agriculture-based country, Pakistan is keen to adopt modern innovations that can increase crop yields per acre of farmland. Improving agricultural productivity and processing to boost exports is a top priority for his government.

PM Shehbaz also visited a high-tech plant factory at the base, where he saw first-hand the latest mechanisms used in advanced agricultural practices that could transform Pakistan’s farming sector.
