Additionally, the initiative will offer affordable rental options for agricultural machinery, including drones.
Meanwhile, a 5,000-acre smart farm, equipped with modern irrigation and farming techniques, was also launched to promote sustainable agriculture and higher yields with lower costs.
The agricultural research centre will provide soil testing, laboratory services, and serve as a hub for agricultural education and research across Pakistan.
