LAHORE: Punjab Seed Corporation is planning to upgrade 32-year-old seed plants for better processing of wheat, rice, cotton, potato, maize and other seeds.
Sources said that the processing plants were purchased in 1983 from Denmark and are needed to be upgraded. They said a delegation of Denish experts had held a meeting with the managing director Punjab Seed Corporation in this regard recently.
The Punjab chief minister has already issued instructions for up-gradation of seed processing plants. Up-gradation of these plants was necessary to improve their working capacity and increasing per acre yield through the seed processed by these plants, they said. The step was in line with farmers friendly policies of the government and to increase agriculture produce in the province, they added.
