Agri sector progressing towards growth due to SIFC’s support
January 16, 2025

The agriculture sector is progressing towards growth due to government initiatives and support by Special Investment Facilitation Council.

To convert thirty-five percent of barren land into cultivable land, Bio-saline Center has been established at Sindh Agricultural University.

Efforts are underway at the Bio-saline Center to develop modern strategies for land affected by salinity. 

The recent completion of a project on the effects of salinity, funded by an Australian research center, is seen as a positive development.

 After the completion of the project, successful cultivation of trees and plants on salinity-affected land has been achieved. 

A new water management project is under consideration, including monitoring the drainage of water from fourteen canals and analyzing it for agricultural use.
