China and Pakistan have been collaborating to revolutionize oilseed harvesting in Pakistan, a country that relies on imports for 89% of its edible oil needs [b4c0ac4a]. Under Pakistan-China cooperation, China introduced a canola variety to the market, providing high-quality hybrid seeds for cultivation [b4c0ac4a]. This has increased yield and provided a healthy alternative for Pakistan [b4c0ac4a]. Chinese company Wuhan Qingfa Hesheng Seed Co. Ltd. has played a crucial role in this collaboration, providing the high-quality hybrid seeds and transferring technology to Pakistan [b4c0ac4a]. The company has also imported harvesters from China to promote smart agriculture practices in Pakistan [b4c0ac4a]. Plans for the third phase of the collaboration involve importing oil-extracting machines to further boost productivity [b4c0ac4a]. This technological advancement has the potential to increase yields by 20-30% [b4c0ac4a].
The adoption of Chinese agricultural technology has transformed the oilseed harvesting landscape in Pakistan's Bhakkar district [b4c0ac4a]. This collaboration not only boosts productivity but also contributes to food security and economic development in Pakistan [b4c0ac4a]. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has played a significant role in empowering farmers and elevating socio-economic standards in the region [b4c0ac4a].
This collaboration in oilseed harvesting is another example of the strong partnership between China and Pakistan in the agricultural sector [b4c0ac4a] [bc914e10]. China's expertise and technology transfer have helped Pakistan improve its agricultural practices and achieve food security [b4c0ac4a] [bc914e10].
