Chinese agricultural technology company FAMSUN has proposed a partnership to modernize Pakistan’s grain storage infrastructure through advanced storage technologies, workforce training, and technology transfer.
Pakistan is set to strengthen its agricultural infrastructure through a proposed partnership with Chinese agri-tech company FAMSUN, which plans to introduce advanced grain storage technologies and technical expertise to improve the country’s food security.
During a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, FAMSUN executives presented a proposal to modernize Pakistan’s grain storage facilities by upgrading conventional storage systems into technologically advanced centers designed to minimize post-harvest losses and improve grain preservation.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif welcomed the proposal, describing it as an important step toward modernizing Pakistan’s agriculture sector and enhancing commercial agricultural activity. He emphasized that workforce development should remain a key component of the initiative, directing that training and skills development for Pakistani professionals be integrated into the project.
As part of the proposed collaboration, FAMSUN plans to establish a demonstration center for green silos that showcase modern grain storage technologies. These advanced storage systems are designed to improve storage efficiency, protect crop quality, and significantly reduce grain losses after harvest.
The company also intends to facilitate technology transfer and provide technical training to help develop local expertise in operating and maintaining modern agricultural infrastructure. Strengthening technical capacity is expected to support the long-term sustainability of Pakistan’s grain storage network.
FAMSUN Chief Executive Officer Jack Chen reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting Pakistan’s food security through innovation, modern engineering solutions, and knowledge sharing. He noted that the discussions build on earlier engagements with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during the premier’s recent visit to China, where both sides explored practical avenues for agricultural cooperation.
The initiative aligns with Pakistan’s broader strategy of modernizing agriculture through collaboration with China. In recent years, both countries have expanded cooperation in agricultural research, technology transfer, and human resource development, including programs to train Pakistani agricultural professionals in China and encourage greater Chinese investment in Pakistan’s agri-food sector.
FAMSUN has maintained a presence in Pakistan for more than two decades, contributing to projects in grain handling, animal feed production, and food processing. The proposed expansion of its activities reflects growing confidence in Pakistan’s agricultural sector and reinforces the long-standing partnership between the two countries in advancing sustainable agricultural development.
By integrating modern storage infrastructure with workforce development and advanced agricultural technologies, the partnership has the potential to improve food security, increase efficiency across the agricultural value chain, and strengthen Pakistan’s long-term agricultural resilience.
