Chinese Agri technology lifts Pakistani farmers’ income threefold

Pakistan's Consul General in Chengdu, Tanvir A. Bhatti, said Chinese farm technology brought to Pakistan has lifted farmer incomes and improved productivity, according to Mettis Global. Addressing the 12th Chengdu International Urban Modern Agriculture Expo on Monday, he said Sichuan-developed hybrid chili seeds and drying machinery had raised returns for Pakistani growers from under $300 to $900 per acre.

Bhatti also credited Chinese hybrid rice technology with boosting grain output among farmers, and said the cooperation had brought Pakistan into China's food processing supply chain. Trade has moved in the same direction, with Pakistan's rice exports to China rising more than 200% year-on-year from January to July 2026, while sesame exports grew 72%, according to China Economic Net as relayed by APP.

Bhatti cited Pakistani mangoes reaching consumers in Chengdu and farm applications developed in China and employed by Punjab rice farmers as direct examples of the cooperation's impact. The report links farm trade growth to rice and sesame exports, but it does not name any listed company.
