Pakistan to export 100 tons hybrid rice seeds for first time in April.

Pakistan is all set to export the first ever consignment of 100 tons heat-tolerant rice seeds to the Philippines next month, a shipment that is long-awaited since the country begun experimenting hybrid technology over a decade back. The first ever consignment of 100 tons high-yielding hybrid rice seed is expected to be exported to the Philippines in April, which will be sufficient to cultivate about 15,000 acres of land.
