Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday solicited support of leading German company BayWa to address the key issues of climate change, irrigation, yield forecast, harvest progress analysis, assessment of climate change and impact on agriculture production to validate investment plans in the State.
The Chief Minister called on BayWa’s Designated CEO Marcus Pöllinger, CEO Vista Dr Heike Bach, and Senior Vice President IT Development BayWa Group Tobias Horstmann during his tour to Munich, and apprised them that Punjab is predominantly an agrarian economy with a large number of its populace dependent on agriculture.
“Punjab wants to upgrade agriculture activities to ensure that the state’s farmers are immensely benefited from it,” said Mann inviting BayWa to provide sustainable agriculture business solutions that will help mechanization of Punjab agriculture by digitization.
He added that BayWa, a leading agri trading and service company, can play an important role for Punjab’s industrial ecosystem in terms of forward value chain linkage.
