Food security remains a primary objective for foreign investors. Our members consist of some of the top global crop-science and agricultural research companies working to improve agricultural productivity in Pakistan. Nutrition has always been vital for a growing economy.
Growth in the agriculture sector has been found, on average, to be at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors.
