Testing labs established to improve quality of
agri commodities
ISLAMABAD (April 24
2004): The government has set up a network of
quality testing accredited laboratories to improve
quality of agriculture commodities to meet
international standard for enhancing country's
exports.
According to official sources heavy investment has
been made for bringing about improvement in
quality of agriculture products.
Pakistan over the years was importing about two
million tonnes of wheat every year but now it has
become a wheat exporting country.
As a result of concerted efforts in the field of
agriculture production, Pakistan has become an
exporter of wheat and about 1.2 million tonnes
wheat was exported last year.
This was an area of our main focus and now
attention will be given for enhancing production
and exports of the other commodities, the source
added.
Besides establishing wheat-testing laboratories
for supporting wheat export establishment of
pesticide residue testing laboratories are in the
offing.
