Calling it a record achievement, Maryam Nawaz said the project was delivered in a short span of time and reflects her government’s vision of modernising agriculture through innovation and technology.
“We are committed to turning Punjab’s agriculture into a powerful, tech-driven industry. Our farmers deserve the best tools, support, and facilities to thrive in today’s competitive world,” she said.
