Minister stresses modernising farming methods
Sindh Minister for Livestock and Fisheries Abdul Bari Pitafi on Saturday said traditional methods of farming should be modernised to bring sustainable development in rural areas.
While talking to Growth for Rural Advancement and Sustainable Progress (GRASP) Project Provincial Head Shabnam Baloch, he said livestock and fisheries were key sectors of rural communities’ advancement but unfortunately farmers were still practising out-dated ways of farming, which produces poor yields.
The minister suggested promotion of entrepreneurs in livestock and fisheries farming that would also help in uplifting the livelihood of small and medium-sized farmers.
