PM Directs Sweeping Agri Reforms to Boost Productivity, Exports

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed extensive reforms to modernize Pakistan's agriculture sector, emphasizing the activation of research institutions and support for small and medium-scale farmers. Key initiatives include improving seed quality, implementing the Agriculture Innovation and Growth Plan 2026-27, and leveraging technology and AI for increased productivity and exports. The reforms also aim to strengthen value chains and promote organic agriculture, with an approved master plan for the National Agricultural Research Centre. While these reforms are crucial for long-term economic stability and could gradually strengthen the PKR by boosting exports, their immediate impact on gold or currency rates in Pakistan is expected to be minimal.
