Pak-US Green Alliance to help agri-productivity

LAHORE: United States Ambassador to Pakistan, Donald Blome, said on Friday that the Pak-US Green Alliance will help meet the climate and agricultural productivity challenges of the present and future.
Speaking at the Oil Seeds Summit at a local hotel on Friday, he said the US soy industry has a great story to tell about the US farmers’ sustainable stewardship of soil and water resources, and “I’m sure that US representatives will be excited to share that story with their partners here in Pakistan.” Highlighting the US soybeans’ contribution to Pakistan’s food security and the important partnership between US soybean producers and Pakistani soy processors, he discussed at length the “robust economic relationship” between the two countries.
As part of his visit to promote the US-Pakistan bilateral partnership in agriculture, trade, and economy, the envoy met with representatives from the All-Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) to discuss how to deepen the already thriving relationship between Punjab’s textile sector and US cotton producers.-Agencies
