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.
The chief minister Punjab has already issued instructions for up-gradation of seed processing plants. Up-gradation of these plants was necessary to improve their working capacity and increasing per acre yield through the seed processed by these plants, they said.
The step was in line with farmers friendly policies of the government and to increase agriculture produce in the province, they added.
