Islamabad: The government has announced plans to leverage Australia’s expertise in agriculture and livestock, aiming to significantly boost food and milk production nationwide. This initiative is supported by the Special Investment Facilitation Council, reflecting a strategic effort to enhance the country’s agricultural framework and improve food security.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the government has allocated four hundred billion rupees to increase agricultural yields. This substantial investment will fund initiatives such as the provision of Kisan Cards, green tractors, and solar energy projects, all designed to support farmers and enhance agricultural productivity.
Furthermore, the government is directing twenty billion rupees towards the livestock sector. This investment focuses on introducing livestock farmer cards and implementing strategies to combat livestock diseases. A key target is the breeding of four hundred thousand calves to ensure the export of disease-free meat, addressing the challenges posed by cattle diseases.
These comprehensive initiatives are expected to not only strengthen Pakistan’s agricultural and livestock sectors but also contribute to the country’s economic stability.
