“These investment opportunities will be showcased at the global level, as the private sector’s active participation is vital for Punjab’s economic growth,” he said. Among the key projects is the establishment of a food processing unit designed to curb post-harvest losses. The spokesperson noted that Punjab accounts for nearly 60pc of Pakistan’s food and fruit production, yet much of its exportable surplus is wasted. “The province’s potential in food production and exports remains underutilised due to insufficient processing facilities and outdated post-harvest practices,” he added. Such a workforce will not only be competitive in global markets but also be utilised within Punjab to support upcoming projects and the relocation of industries.
