The event is designed as more than a routine academic gathering. It will bring together academics, policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, development partners, researchers and students to explore practical pathways for transforming agriculture into a profitable, inclusive and sustainable agribusiness sector.
With agriculture, livestock, dairy, fisheries, food processing and market development at the center, the seminar is expected to encourage stronger academia-industry linkages and practical discussion on Balochistan’s agribusiness potential.
