During the visit, participants were also shown a demonstration of modern agricultural machinery used for the development of the agricultural sector.

Agricultural machinery, including drones, will be available to farmers at discounted rental rates.
“On this occasion, Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir, while addressing, said that Punjab has become Pakistan’s agricultural power house. The leading role of the province of Punjab and its farmers in modern agriculture is commendable. The successes achieved in a short time under the Green Corporate initiative are encouraging and a harbinger of progress. The Pakistan Army will continue to fully support the process of the country’s economic development.”
