LAHORE:
The government is taking every possible step to bolster agriculture sector while a subsidy of Rs16 billion is also being disbursed among genuine stake holders, said Punjab Agriculture Minister Dr Farrukh Javed while talking to a group of growers and harvesters. “We are striving to educate the farming community as research will be useless if it does not reach the real farmers,” he added. He called for taking advantage of the latest research in the field of agriculture to earn a place for Pakistani products in the international market and for competing with other global players. Referring to Pak-China Hybrid Wheat Industrialisation Cooperation Agreement, he said it would help develop Pakistan’s agriculture sector through new seed variety. “Chinese cooperation in all fields of the economy is matchless”, he added.
