PM Shehbaz Urges Higher Farm Output, Boost in Agricultural Exports

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired a high-level meeting, stressing the need for federal and provincial coordination to enhance per-acre farm productivity and expand agricultural exports, which stood at $5.18 billion last fiscal year. The government plans to develop value chains, target markets like China and Saudi Arabia, and facilitate financing for exporters. A Digital Farmers’ Diary-Agri Stack and a Pakistan Good Agriculture Practices (Pak-GAP) system were also proposed. Stronger exports could gradually improve Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves, potentially offering long-term support for the Pakistani Rupee.
