LAHORE: Cultivation of cotton, rice and paddy has been started in the country and 75 per cent of our export is dependant on these crops so it is imperative to ensure their sowing on maximum land. Pak Agri Forum Chairman Dr Muhammad Ibrahim Mughal told APP on Friday that production of 16 million tons of cotton bales, 7.5 million tons rice and 70 million tons sugarcane was necessary to reduce the financial trade deficit.
