Punjab University, in collaboration with Wuhan University, has developed a high-yield hybrid rice seed aimed at transforming Pakistan’s agriculture. Led by Dr. Muhammad Ashfaq, the locally developed Honglian-type hybrid rice can increase yields up to three times, producing approximately 5.2 tons per hectare. The seed is resistant to bacterial diseases, insect attacks, and extreme heat, making it suitable for climate-affected regions. Approved by the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council and successfully tested across all four provinces, the hybrid rice is expected to boost food security, reduce imports, and benefit farmers nationwide. This initiative highlights the impact of international collaboration on addressing Pakistan’s agricultural challenges.
