Pakistan seeks cooperation with China to increase cotton production

According to a report by Pakistan’s “Observer” on December 10, Asim Saeed, former vice chairman of the Pakistan Cotton Growers Association (PCGA), said that cooperation with China in seeds can be sought. Cooperation in production and mechanized planting will help Pakistan improve the quality of cotton production. Pakistan’s technical level in cotton seeds, mechanical planting, and cotton ginning is low, resulting in low yields. Benefiting from the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and the entry into force of the second phase of the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement, despite the decline in cotton production in Pakistan, the amount of cotton yarn exported to China has continued to increase in recent months. </p
