PM announces the conversion of 18,000 tube wells to solar energy in Balochistan. The government has reiterated its commitment to enhancing Pakistan’s agricultural exports, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif unveiling a major initiative aimed at upgrading the skills of the country’s agricultural workforce.
Speaking at the second World Food and Agriculture Exhibition in Karachi, the prime minister revealed plans to send 1,000 agriculture graduates to China for advanced training. This initiative, fully funded by the government, is part of broader efforts to modernize Pakistan’s agricultural sector and increase its export potential. Prime Minister Sharif noted that while the export of rice and other agricultural products saw a $3 billion increase last year, this growth is still insufficient. He stressed the need for value addition and the implementation of concrete measures to further enhance Pakistan’s agricultural export capabilities.
“Pakistan is blessed with immense potential, which, unfortunately, has not been fully harnessed for various reasons,” the PM said. He emphasized the importance of utilizing these resources effectively to drive economic growth and support the agricultural sector.
In addition, the prime minister announced plans to convert 18,000 tube wells to solar energy in Balochistan as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to improve agricultural infrastructure. This initiative aims to promote sustainable agriculture in the region, reduce operational costs, and encourage environmentally friendly practices.
