Pakistan is making efforts to upgrade its agricultural sector in order to boost crop yields per acre. One of our main priorities is to increase agricultural exports, PM Shehbaz told the Chinese officials.
He was also informed about experts and universities in Pakistan who are conducting research at Yangling Base.
Specific knowledge in food safety and agriculture will be covered in the program. Students from Balochistan will be given preference over those from other parts of Pakistan when they are chosen.
The curriculum will be carried out by the Confucius Institute of Agriculture University in Faisalabad.
