Seed processing plants of Punjab Seed Corporation will be upgraded for better processing of wheat, rice, cotton, potato, maize and other seeds. The processing plants were purchased in 1983 from Denmark, official sources told APP here on Sunday.
They said present condition of the processing plants was good yet they were above three decades old technology and need to be upgraded to meet the requirements of modern days.
They said a delegation of Denish experts had held a meeting with the managing director Punjab Seed Corporation in this regard recently.
