Agriculture in Pakistan is on the verge of a big change, thanks to new technology from China. PowerChina, a major Chinese company, believes that using drones at low heights can greatly improve farming in Pakistan. These changes could make farming more productive, cheaper, and better for the environment.

Revolutionizing Farming with Smart Drones

In China, drones with advanced sensors and cameras check important things like soil quality, moisture, and plant health. By using artificial intelligence, this data helps farmers make better decisions. This type of farming uses resources more wisely, causes less harm to the environment, and increases crop production.

PowerChina wants to bring similar success to Pakistan by introducing:

  • Smart Farming: Using resources better and growing more crops.
  • Smart Water Use: Making sure water is used efficiently for each type of crop.
  • Data-Based Choices: Using AI to solve farming problems.

Collaborative Efforts in Pakistan

In 2024, the Pakistan-China Joint Lab for Artificial Intelligence and Smart Agriculture was opened at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad. This project aims to use advanced technologies in Punjab, which is Pakistan’s main farming area. Since Punjab grows 76% of the country’s grain, this could have a big effect.

Benefits for Farmers

Dr. Iqrar Ahmad Khan, who is in charge of the University of Agriculture in Faisalabad, said that using drones could help the 25,000 villages in Punjab by making farming more efficient and reducing costs.
But, problems such as high prices and not enough money are stopping many people from using this technology.

Addressing the Challenges

Dr. Muhammad Adnan from LTEC International suggests the following:

  • Government Support: Helping small farmers afford new technology.
  • Joint Efforts: Encouraging businesses and the government to work together for mutual benefits.
  • Local Drone Production: Lowering costs by making drones in the country.
  • Farmer Education: Teaching farmers how to use drone technology effectively.

A Sustainable Future for Agriculture

With the right investments and partnerships, Chinese drone technology could greatly improve Pakistan’s agriculture. By encouraging sustainable methods, increasing production, and reducing expenses, this combination could help ensure a strong future for Pakistan’s farming industry.

Conclusion

The introduction of Chinese drone technology has the potential to revolutionize farming practices in D. I. Khan. This region, rich in agricultural potential, can greatly benefit from innovations such as precision farming, smart irrigation, and AI-driven data analysis. These advancements can help farmers address challenges like water scarcity, improve crop health, and boost overall yields.
By adopting this technology, D. I. Khan can emerge as a leader in modern agriculture, ensuring sustainable farming practices and enhancing the livelihoods of its farming community.

This connection between the two provinces will prove to be beneficial for both provinces. A recent report by Business Recorder attributes Dera Ismail Khan as Paharpur -D.I. Khan Economic Corridor due to the developments taking place in the region.

CPEC western route

The road construction of CPEC will be carried out based on three routes – center, eastern, and western. The Western route among these routes is considered economically and politically viable compared to the Central and Easter routes. CPEC western route has several economic benefits including growth in employment, economic output, and household welfare. The route will pass from Gwadar, Turbat, Panjgur, Khuzdar, Kalat, Quetta, Zhob, Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, Kohat, Peshawar, Hasanabdal, and onwards and will mostly cover the least developed areas of Pakistan such as Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. China will also benefit from CPEC due to reduced distance resulting in lesser time for shipment.

The construction of Kallur Kot bridge between Sargodha and Dera Ismail Khan will significantly reduce the distance between Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This improvement in connecting the two regions will lead to an economic uplift mainly through agricultural products of the entire region. Travelling time between Sargodha and Dera Ismail khan will be reduced by 2 hours. Kallur Kot bridge will not reduce the distance between Kallur Kot area and Dera Ismail Khan from 80 kilometeres to just 15 kilometers. but also provide.
