KARACHI: Jangsu Huachang Chemical Company limited, a Chinese firm, and the Sindh government have agreed to conceive the planning for the development of all components/organisations and enhance capacity building in agriculture sector to ensure sustainable green revolution and food security in Sindh.
Last year in July, the World Bank had approved the Sindh Agricultural Growth Project in the amount of US$ 76.4 million which aims to improve the productivity and market access of small and medium producers in important commodity value chains. The project would benefit approximately 112,000 farmers covering over 66,000 hectares.
However, the provincial government and the firm expert in agro sector agreed to convert traditional cultivation to modern methodology with use of latest powerful input articles. A seven-member from company and Sindh government official initially agreed to establish laboratory in Sindh to analyse/ascertain the fertility position of the land (soil) from upper to lower Sindh and additional fertilizer requirement so that appropriate measures could be taken to enhance the per acre crop yield.
The Sindh chief minister said Sindh was blessed with rich and fertile land and natural resources. However we were behind in latest technology to exploit our resources properly.
