Where the Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC) is fulfilling its duty of providing farmers with quality manure, it is also creating awareness about the use of latest agricultural technology in obtaining better output from crops, the deputy manager says.

“Farmers can avail benefits from FFC’s services and increase the output of their crops,” said Muhammad Zahid Aziz while addressing a seminar on profitable harvest of apple trees in Sibi on Sunday. The seminar was organised by FFC and attended by farmers and Pishin Agriculture Department officials.

Aziz said, “Before using the manure, it is necessary to undertake a survey of the land to determine if there is lack of essential minerals and if so how to fulfil the deficiency.

“FFC is providing farmers of the country free analysis on the usage of land and water.”

He said, “Our agriculture experts bring samples of mud to FFC’s latest computerised laboratory for analysis and then provide the report to farmers so that they could follow it and increase their production.”
On the occasion, Agriculture Department Research expert Zainullah Kakar apprised the farmers with better ways of looking after apple gardens.
