BEIJING:

A section for agriculture machines has attracted Pakistani buyers during the 133rd China Import and Export Fair, also known as Canton Fair, being held in Guangzhou, China.

The electric trolley is one of the devices that interested the visitors the most, as it can carry more weight, and it is also auto-controlled.

"The traditional trolley we use in Pakistan is completely different from that," a Pakistani buyer said.

"One can see how innovative they have made it by installing a motor and hydraulic system in a small trolley. It also fits small-scale farmers. It can have a huge market in Pakistan," he added.

The booth said that the electric trolley normally works with an electric wood breaker. It can break wood into small pieces.

The exhibitor briefed that one can give commands through the control panel about how small the pieces are to be cut, and it is also capable of converting the wood into sawdust.

Federal Minister for Industries and Production in Pakistan, Syed Murtaza Mahmud recently stressed the importance of farm mechanisation.

He also encouraged converting raw products into value-added products to promote agribusiness, China Economic Net (CEN) reported.

The automatic grinder is a widely used machine for value-added agricultural products in China. Interestingly, one can put whatever crop in it, like wheat, spices, or even meat.

"The products at Canton Fair are of good quality with fair prices. When you place orders in large quantities, the price will be fairer," briefed the exhibitor.

"In this place, we can find a lot of advanced devices that can be introduced to Pakistan, which are essential for increasing the agricultural productivity of the country," the Pakistani buyers said, while adding that "these new technologies can give Pakistan more inspiration to make agribusiness more productive and profitable."
