Japanese keen to grow Japonica rice in Pakistan
Japanese agriculturists are keen to grow Japonica rice in Pakistan following the damage caused to rice fields by tsunami and earthquake, said Japanese and Pakistan businessmen.
Japan is seeking to buy 75,000 metric tons of food wheat and 40,000 tons of food barley through a tender system introduced to loosen government grain-import controls, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
