Storyline: Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has outlined a vision for his country's self-sufficiency in agriculture, emphasizing the importance of cooperating with China to modernize Pakistan's agriculture sector. Zardari paid a four-day visit to northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from Sept 18 to 21. In an exclusive interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) in Urumqi, which was released on Thursday, Zardari spoke highly of China's advanced agricultural productivity as a model that Pakistan could emulate. "We need an economical mindset, we need to let the people live and let live. So the idea should be self-sufficiency in our agriculture sector where we could know what's going to happen tomorrow. Your production per acre is much more than mine. Per hectare your results in the agriculture sector are much better than anyone else's, so we want to be complemented and helped in that sector," he said. The president also highlighted the critical need to overhaul Pakistan's water management in the agriculture sector, pinpointing the inefficiency of traditional flood irrigation method. "Water resources, maximum utilization of water resources. In today's times, we have flood irrigation, that's how we irrigate. One acre is 4,400 square yards. Now can you imagine that it stands in a flood irrigation, how much water it takes? Hundreds of thousands of gallons. But if the same thing was to be given in deep irrigation and better ways of water utilization, it will bring the utility of water to one third of what we are using today," Zardari said.
