KOPIA enhances agricultural innovation and sustainability in Pakistan

The Korea Partnership for Innovation of Agriculture (KOPIA) is working to improve farming in Pakistan. It has centers in 23 countries across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. KOPIA aims to advance agricultural technologies and boost food security worldwide. It cooperates with local research organizations to address specific agricultural challenges. KOPIA's Pakistan Center has introduced many new technologies and farming methods. This includes a focus on the production of seed potatoes using aeroponic systems. This method helps reduce reliance on imported seed potatoes and produces disease-free, high-quality seeds. The first aeroponic facility was established at the National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC), which is a key step toward self-sufficiency in seed production. In addition to potatoes, KOPIA is also working to improve livestock, fodder, and mechanized farming. They provide digital services for agriculture and solutions for post-harvest management. These initiatives help farmers increase their crop yields and reduce losses. KOPIA collaborates closely with the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC) to enhance food security and sustainability. Their shared goal is to boost agricultural growth and improve rural livelihoods. As Pakistan seeks to grow its agricultural exports and productivity, KOPIA will continue to play a vital role in driving positive change in the sector.
