Last month, the American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health program (ASA/WISHH) participated in the DAWN Agri Expo in Lahore as part of the USDA-funded FEEDing Pakistan project. The Chief Minister of Punjab, Mr. Shahbaz Sharif, visited the ASA/WISHH booth and was briefed on the project by ASA/WISHH’s Country Representative, R.S.N. Janjua, and Fozia, who currently serves as Aquaculture Associate.

The Chief Minister fed soy-based floating feed to tilapia in an aquarium at the booth to showcase its effectiveness.  More than 2,000 visitors visited the ASA/WISHH booth including fish farmers, representatives from academia and Pakistani government officials to learn about the value of soy-based feed in Pakistani aquaculture.
