“We will initially set up a trial of low-cost grain storage technology from Argentina and eventually its outreach will be multiplied,” he said, adding that the two countries should increase bilateral trade in agriculture.

Agritech is an incredibly valuable investment for Pakistan, a country which has massive agricultural potential that can be better unlocked with the use of advanced mechanisms, gadgets, and techniques.
