'By Khawaja Ahsan Paul 'Pakistan Times' Punjab Bureau Chief

LAHORE: Another high level private sector trade delegation from Afghanistan will visit Lahore shortly to import Pak made diesel engines for agricultural purpose.

Chief executive officer KAM Engineering, Khalid Saeed said on Monday that the Pakistan made KAM diesel engines have become very popular in Afghanistan, compared to all brands of those made in India, and are being successfully used for agricultural purposes.

He said the Afghan team will visit the state of the art plant and see the engine assembly process, using indigenous technical know how and expertise, which has helped to control the price of the product with minimum overhead expenses.

In their war torn country, the Afghanis are now inclined to bring maximum area under cultivation to meet the ever increasing need for food grains.

For this purpose, they need quality agri inputs and implements, and Pakistan made products offer the guarantee to compete in terms of quality and price, said the firm’s director marketing, Sh Amin Akhtar.

Khalid Saeed said we have already sold thousands of engines of different capacity to Afghan brothers on cash payment. He said we are also providing after sale service facility even in Afghanistan.

He said we have also successfully manufactured a mini truck for agriculture purpose which he added will be much cheaper than all others in open market.

This truck has been under trial for the last couple of year. He said that although we have given successful demonstration to Minister of State for Agriculture during his visit to plant.

It will be marketed soon after its final clearance by our high level team of technical experts and permission from government.
