STAFF REPORT ISB: The sustainable growth of agriculture sector is necessary to refuel the Pakistans economy and this very resolve has prompted Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC) to instigate an awareness campaign directed to raise awareness amongst stakeholders to prioritize agriculture sector.


PARC sources revealed that the organization is all set to start the awareness program to identify and highlight core issues of agriculture sector at relevant forums and compel policy makers to devise a solution-based agri-friendly policy.


It is relevant to mention here that agriculture contributes to 21% of share in GDP that is a sizeable share which can easily be propelled to much greater number provided the policies address the agriculture challenges. PARC has been playing a major role in the poverty alleviation and the agriculture development through innovation and introduction of modern technology. The media both electronic and print must shed light on the issues of agriculture sector and come out of the ratings temptation for a bigger cause.


Minister for National Food Security and Research (MNFSandR), Sikandar Hayat Bosan also pledged on number of occasions that agriculture sector is one of the key areas on which government is focusing in order to strengthen the countrys economy.
