What's Happening?
Engro Fertilizers Limited, in partnership with the Agriculture Department of Punjab, organized a Kissan Convention in Bahawalpur as part of the province's wheat cultivation campaign. The event attracted
over 600 farmers and focused on promoting sustainable agricultural practices to enhance wheat yields and farm productivity. Key figures such as the Provincial Minister for Agriculture Punjab, Syed Ashiq Hussain Shah Kirmani, and Secretary Agriculture Punjab, Mr. Iftikhar Ali Sahoo, attended the convention. Engro Fertilizers distributed high-quality seeds to flood-affected farmers and inaugurated the 'Engro Markaz' outlet, which aims to provide farmers with technical guidance and support.
Why It's Important?
The convention underscores the importance of public-private partnerships in transforming Pakistan's agricultural sector. By promoting innovative farming techniques and providing resources to farmers, the initiative aims to improve food security and boost the agricultural economy. The distribution of seeds to flood-affected farmers is particularly significant, as it aids recovery and ensures timely sowing for the Rabi season. The establishment of the Engro Markaz outlet represents a commitment to empowering farmers with knowledge and resources, which is essential for sustainable agricultural growth and long-term productivity.
