Punjab Government is considering introducing new cotton seeds with the help of Monsanto through which cotton production in the country would jump to 26 million bales from 13 million bales. This was stated by Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar Governor Punjab while addressing agricultural scientists at Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad. He was presiding over a function organised at AARI, Faisalabad to celebrate Dr Norman E. Borlaug's 100th birth day and commemorating fifty years of Pakistan-US Co-operation in Agriculture.

Governor said Dr Norman E. Borlaug served humanity at large and greatly helped alleviate hunger and poverty through development of input responsive semi-dwarf wheat varieties. He informed that Pakistan is one of the top 10 producers of wheat in the world and added that Punjab Government is striving to make "green revolution" as ever green in Punjab by sustainable development. The Governor said the present government is following solid policies for strengthening the food security system and achieving the self-reliance in agriculture sector.

A doubling of cotton output just by changing seed? Not likely.

Multinational company Monsanto who introduced high breed seeds in India is responsible for thousands of our farmers suicides.

There are some controversies with genetically modified seeds as you have to pay the company who manufactured the seed some sorta royalty etc , quite a few documentaries about this in USA.

Not sure how this fits inti Pakistani model

As long as there is no "Royalty" to be paid for seeds Pakistan should certainly consider however the issue has been prominent in global arena

Farhad Mazhar (an enemy of Hasina and India), the founder of UBINIG, a patriotic socialist of Bangladesh, has been fighting Monsanto's aggression on Bangladesh with his own seed-bank movement from the grass roots among peasant farmers:
