The agreement focuses on the promotion and application of small-scale farm equipment through GPI's Green Agrimall (GAM) network, including sales, leasing and demonstration services for local farmers. The cooperation is intended to expand farmers' access to modern agricultural machinery and mechanization services.

GPI lists mechanization and precision agriculture among its agricultural modernization priorities, while Green Agrimall provides machinery for purchase or rental as well as technology demonstration services. The MOU is expected to provide Hunan equipment suppliers with an additional channel to reach the Pakistani market while expanding machinery options available to local farmers.
