The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has implemented several key components of its Green Pakistan Initiative (GPI), focusing on agricultural modernization and economic stabilization through sustainable farming practices.
A centerpiece of the initiative includes the establishment of 25 Green Agri Malls throughout Punjab, designed to introduce modern irrigation systems and agricultural technologies. These facilities aim to serve as hubs for agricultural innovation and farmer support.
The GPI has identified the development of Cholistan's barren land as a priority project, with efforts underway to transform uncultivated areas into productive agricultural land. This land rehabilitation project is part of the initiative's broader economic stabilization strategy.
The program includes the creation of Smart Agriculture Farms, which are expected to impact 95 percent of the country's agricultural operations through farmer training and technology transfer. These facilities will provide hands-on experience with modern farming techniques and equipment.
An Agricultural Research and Facilitation Center, complete with laboratory services, is being established to provide comprehensive technical support to farmers. The center will offer various agricultural services, including soil testing and crop management guidance.
The initiative encompasses the distribution of high-quality seeds and modern technology to farmers, aiming to enhance crop yields and farming efficiency. This technological integration is expected to particularly benefit wheat and cotton production, among other major crops.
SIFC's strategy emphasizes the efficient use of natural resources and water management systems to ensure sustainable agricultural development. The initiative targets increased exports of key agricultural commodities through improved production methods and quality control measures.
The program represents a coordinated approach to agricultural modernization, combining infrastructure development, technology adoption, and farmer education to address various challenges in Pakistan's agricultural sector.
