Govt to Leverage Australian Expertise for Boosting Agri and Livestock Sectors.


Islamabad: The government, with support from the Special Investment Facilitation Council, is set to harness Australia’s expertise in agriculture and livestock to enhance food and milk production nationwide. This strategic collaboration marks a significant step towards improving Pakistan’s agricultural framework.

According to Radio Pakistan, the government has earmarked four hundred billion rupees to increase agricultural yields. This substantial investment will fund initiatives such as the distribution of Kisan Cards, the provision of green tractors, and the implementation of solar energy projects. These measures are designed to bolster the agricultural sector and increase productivity.

In addition to agriculture, the government is channeling twenty billion rupees into the livestock sector. This funding will be directed towards the introduction of livestock farmer cards and the development of strategies to combat livestock diseases. A key goal of this initiative is the breeding of four hundred thousand calv
es to ensure the export of disease-free meat, mitigating the impact of cattle diseases on the sector.

These comprehensive initiatives are poised to strengthen Pakistan’s agricultural framework, bolster food security, and contribute to the nation’s economic stability. The collaborative effort aims to leverage international expertise to address local challenges, fostering growth and sustainability in critical sectors.
