“Pakistan is one of the most important countries involving into the Belt and Road Initiative. We have mobilized our resellers to tackle the locust swarm by our products as the desert locust crisis happened. Right now our company is committed to helping locals use our drones to spray pesticides, and relevant measures will be taken soon,” says its Publicity Manager.
As per the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a swarm of locusts has migrated to Sindh, Pakistan’s second-largest cotton producing province in the summer of 2019, damaging produce in parts of the country. The swarm had grown to a massive size in November, raising fears that more crops and fields would be plagued. Balochistan, Punjab and urban areas like Karachi were hit by locust attacks so far. The federal government has declared an emergency this month to combat locusts.
China has rich experience in locust control, and Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Yao Jing said that Chinese technical experts’ delegation will arrive in Islamabad soon to start evaluation of the locust situation at the meeting with Minister for National Food Security and Research Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtyar on Tuesday.
