Prof. Dr. Athar Mahboob, Vice Chancellor, the Islamia University of Bahawalpur and Director National Research Center for Intercropping IUB and Postdoctoral Officer of Sichuan Agricultural University Muhammad Ali Raza emphasized to reduce the rising import cost and encourage local soybean production to reduce import cost. Governor Punjab appreciated the efforts of the Islamia University of Bahawalpur in promoting soybean related intercropping technology in Pakistan and in view of excessive reliance on Pakistani imports for soybean supply.

He expressed readiness to invest more in this sector. Maize soybean strip intercropping technology was introduced in Pakistan in 2018 from Sichuan Agricultural University. This advanced Chinese technology makes the best use of available space to grow crops on the same area of land that is equivalent to soybean production. An additional ‘bonus’, which has been helping Pakistan reduce soybean shortages and reduce soybean imports for the past four years. This season, the total display area of corn and soybean strip intercropping technology in Pakistan has exceeded 400 acres, which is about 2.67 times more than last fall.

In addition, more crop varieties are being added to the intercropping system including wheat, soybean and sugarcane, soybean intercropping. Demonstration plots are now being harvested, which is expected to yield promising results soon. Dr. Muhammad Ali Raza said that last season more than 200 farmers used our technology and this number is still increasing day by day. Farmers are quite satisfied with the results. They are contacting us and want to adopt more ground technology.

Most importantly, this season a new intercropping specific soybean line has been developed by Dr. Muhammad Ali Raza and Dr. Zaheer Ahmed, in-charge Soybean Lab for Agricultural University Faisalabad (UAF). It is learned that the new line of soybean can easily produce soybean at 480 to 720 kg per acre in intercropping system, whereas production of other varieties of soybean is reduced to only 200 to 400 kg per acre.

ROSEN, TOP RANKED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Yext, Inc. Investors with Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – YEXT

NEW YORK, June 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT) between March 4, 2021 and March 8, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 16, 2022.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Yext securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Yext class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7115 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 16, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Yext’s revenue and earnings were significantly deteriorating because of, among other things, poor sales execution and performance, as well as COVID-19 related disruptions; (2) accordingly, Yext was unlikely to meet consensus estimates for its full year (“FY”) fiscal 2022 financial results and fiscal 2023 outlook; and (3) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Yext class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7115 mailto:or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
