ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has facilitated two memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with Turkish partners in agriculture technology and livestock development, an official announced on Friday, as Islamabad seeks to boost productivity and exports following recent economic stabilization efforts.
The deals, brokered under the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), bring together the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council and Türkiye’s Agricultural Technologies Cluster (TÜME), as well as Green Corporate Livestock Initiative (Pvt.) Ltd. and Dost Agriculture Enterprises.
The SIFC, a hybrid civil-military body formed in 2023 to fast-track decisions related to international investment in sectors including tourism, livestock, agriculture and mines and minerals, has been central to Pakistan’s efforts to attract foreign capital and streamline approvals.
“Pakistan possesses vast agricultural potential, fertile land, and a dynamic workforce,” Jamil Qureshi, Federal Secretary of the SIFC, said in a post on social media. “By combining these strengths with Türkiye’s advanced expertise and technological innovation, we are unlocking new pathways for productivity, value addition, and global market access.”
