Implementing the Green Pakistan Initiative program is anticipated to herald a new era of prosperity for the nation, marked by significant advancements in the agricultural sector and a surge in domestic production. This optimistic vision was shared by Sheikh Umar Rehan, the former President of the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI), as he addressed a gathering of businessmen and industrialists in Karachi.

Praising Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir’s profound interest in bolstering the agriculture sector, Umar Rehan expressed his encouragement. He credited the idea of the Green Pakistan Initiative to the visionary Army Chief. According to Rehan, the collaboration between the army and the government under this program can transform barren lands into fertile grounds, substantially increasing employment opportunities within the agriculture sector.

Highlighting the agriculture sector’s critical role in Pakistan’s economy, Umar Rehan stressed embracing modern technology to enhance productivity and efficiency. By adopting advanced agricultural practices, he asserted that production costs could be significantly reduced while improving the overall quality of output. Furthermore, the development in the agriculture sector is expected to have a cascading effect, contributing positively to other sectors of the economy.

Urging swift actions to attract foreign investments, Rehan proposed organising seminars to raise awareness among farmers about modern farming methods. He emphasised that equipping farmers with state-of-the-art technology could lead to more substantial profits from cultivation. Rehan called upon the government to channel all available resources towards the sector’s development, ensuring Pakistan’s agriculture gains prominence globally.

With a hopeful outlook, Sheikh Umar Rehan expressed confidence that the Green Pakistan Initiative will pave the way for a green revolution, propelling the nation towards prosperity and sustainable growth.
