Shahzad Ali Malik, Chairman of the Pakistan Hi Tech Hybrid Seed Association (PHHSA), stressed the importance to protect arable land, core seed resources, and developing high-quality farmland to ensure food security in the country on Sunday.
Speaking to a delegation of industrialists and traders, he emphasised the importance of forming a top-level strategy to advance rural vitalization on all fronts and accelerate the construction of a strong country in agriculture, according to a press release.
He stated that the government places a high priority on these goals, but he also urged officials at all levels to be real doers in order to overcome food safety and security challenges while also ensuring food grain availability at affordable prices.
He urged remarkable pragmatism in confronting and overcoming the institutional and practical barriers that have prevented modern agriculture from taking root in one of the world’s oldest agricultural civilizations. He stated that modern cultivation was required to achieve higher yields.
According to Shahzad Ali, it is critical to provide manpower, material resources, and the necessary financial inputs to support long-overdue systematic reforms as well as agricultural science and technology research and development.
It is important to protect arable land and core seed resources in order to ensure food security. This can be accomplished by implementing sustainable farming practises, conserving water and soil resources, and encouraging the use of high-quality seeds and seedlings.
Furthermore, investments in infrastructure and technology that can support the development of high-quality farmland, such as irrigation systems and precision farming tools, are critical. By taking these steps, we can help to ensure that our agriculture sector can meet the growing demand for food while also contributing to our country’s overall stability and prosperity.
The Pakistan Hi Tech Hybrid Seed Association (PHHSA) is a professional organization that represents the interests of seed companies in Pakistan. Its mission is to promote the development and use of high-quality hybrid seeds in the country, and to support the growth and sustainability of the seed industry.
