Decision to focus on agriculture for Pakistan's economic recovery
In a recent important statement, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that Pakistan can stabilize and recover its economy within just one year. To achieve this goal, he has emphasized giving top priority to the agriculture and livestock sectors.
According to government data, Pakistan is an agricultural country and its economy is largely dependent on crops and agricultural produce. The Prime Minister believes that if modern technology is utilized and better facilities are provided to farmers, a significant increase in the country's exports is possible.
Under this plan, the government intends to increase investment in the agricultural sector. This initiative will not only help in meeting food shortages but will also create new employment opportunities in rural areas. Experts say that improvements in agriculture can also help in controlling inflation.
The Prime Minister has directed the relevant authorities to immediately begin practical steps for the development of the agriculture and livestock sectors. The government's objective is to make the national economy self-reliant by modernizing these sectors so that dependence on foreign loans can be reduced.
