The government should level the playing field and give the right costs for all the inputs. Subsidizing useless or inefficient excess fertilizer use is the problem. Flood irrigation is also very wasteful and the costs should be properly charged to the farmer so they can be inventoried to switch to better methods.I would hope we could send Pakistani students to cutting edge Chinese agricultural universities and have them trained there after they are educated in Pakistan. China won’t allow them to stay, so there is no fear of losing the students to immigration and In this way, to get a senior job, students will have to be independently assessed.Chinese universities could also help Pakistani universities cut out the useless parts of the curriculum and add in useful parts.There should also be a program to mandate these students to teach our own farmers what they have learned in order to graduate.</blockquote>
