Pakistan is seeking Chinese technical expertise in buffalo genetics and molecular biology to strengthen food security and modernize agricultural exports.
The initiative was highlighted by Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Khalil Hashmi during the International Rural Innovation and Development (IRID) Expo 2026 in Hefei.
He invited Chinese companies and research institutions to collaborate on high-yield hybrid seeds and climate-resilient farming techniques. Moreover, he stressed that digital agriculture and rural economic revitalization remain key priorities.
Hashmi emphasized livestock genetics as a major focus area to improve dairy and meat production. He also highlighted wheat molecular biology as an important field for future cooperation.
In addition, he pointed to value-added industrial opportunities such as polylactic acid (PLA) production. This technology converts agricultural waste into biodegradable plastics and supports sustainable industrial growth.
The ambassador also proposed establishing a dedicated agriculture sub-forum at future IRID events. Furthermore, he invited international partners to hold the next global agriculture summit in Pakistan to deepen investment and cooperation.
