Syngenta Pakistan Limited (Syngenta), a leader in plant sciences, has commenced work on a landmark project to develop state-of-the-art ecosystems for farmers in Pakistan by partnering with fellow market players providing goods and services required by the agriculture industry. The project follows the success of a similar project undertaken by Syngenta’s affiliates in other countries, including Indonesia.
Syngenta seeks to set up one-stop locations offering end-to-end solutions to farmers across Pakistan – the first of their kind in the country. These will be centred around the core requirements of farmers and offer essential products such as fertilizers, crop protection, seeds, and services, including drone spraying, crop insurance, agriculture financing, soil analysis, smart climate advice and disaster management consulting. Many of these services are only just beginning to be provided in Pakistan.
We are advising Syngenta on this project across Pakistan. Our role entails reviewing and analyzing sector-specific regulatory statutes, providing advice on the licensing and registration requirements for the products and services to be offered, preparing the commercial contracts that will underpin the project, and advising on land acquisition and transfer.
Our team working with Syngenta is led by Shafaq Rehman (Partner-Pakistan) and also consists of Aun Ali Raza (Litigation Counsel-Lahore) and Ahmed Nisar (Associate-Lahore).
