What sets these varieties apart is their unique ability to self-pollinate, offering productivity comparable to hybrid rice. This breakthrough allows farmers to use the same seeds for subsequent seasons, reducing expenses and boosting profitability. According to a statement released by the Ministry of Food Security and Research, these groundbreaking rice varieties are expected to revolutionise Pakistan\u2019s rice sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malik lauded the efforts of scientists at the National Institute for Genomics and Advanced Biotechnology for their remarkable contributions and acknowledged the support provided by the Green Super Rice Phase-II project, executed by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Published in The Express Tribune, September 29<sup>th<\/sup>, 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister says new high-yield variety will reduce costs, increase profits ISLAMABAD: Pakistan\u2019s rice sector is on the brink of a transformation with the introduction of innovative rice varieties that promise reduced costs and increased profits, said Caretaker Minister for National Food Security and Research, Kausar Abdullah Malik, at a workshop on Climate-Resilient High-Yielding and Quality [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8541,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[340,160,159],"class_list":["post-8540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-pakistans-rice","tag-rice-export","tag-global-rice-news"],"acf":{"enable_premium_overlay":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
