ISLAMABAD, Oct 3 (APP):National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser Thursday emphatically stressed the need for connecting Pakistani farmers with the global markets and projection of the ‘Made in Pakistan’ brand across the world.
He stated that Pakistan was a producer of best quality agri-products; however, the lack of effective penetration in the global value chain precluded Pakistani farmers from higher productivity and profitability.
He was speaking during the 5th meeting of the Special Committee on Agricultural Products at Parliament House here.
He announced that the Special Committee on Agriculture Products was actively pursuing linkages with the global food outlets through partners and investors of international repute.
The representatives of the SGS and Swiss Consulting Private Limited presented a comprehensive plan for integrating Pakistani farmers in the global value chain. An international Business Development Consultant on Agri Food Supply Chain from SGS Geneva Hans Peter briefed the committee on the successful implementation of the plan in China.
