One Year Achievements of SIFC in Agriculture Sector

Over the past year, the SIFC (Special Investment Facilitation Council) has emerged as a pivotal force in advancing Pakistan’s agricultural landscape, marking significant milestones and fulfilling its mandate with notable success.

Under its flagship Green Pakistan Initiative (GPI), SIFC established LIMS, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing agricultural practices. LIMS introduced innovative irrigation methods such as modular drip, sprinkler, and pivot irrigation systems, enhancing water use efficiency and promoting sustainable agriculture practices across the country.

A key development was the launch of LIMS comprehensive website and mobile application, empowering farmers with crucial insights on climate change, satellite crop monitoring, and precise agricultural inputs like water, fertilizers, and pesticides. This digital platform has proved instrumental in optimizing agricultural productivity and resilience.

Moreover, LIMS identified and earmarked 4.4 million acres of barren land for potential conversion into fertile agricultural zones, underscoring its commitment to expanding agricultural production areas.

In a strategic move to bolster agricultural investments, LIMS partnered with 7 international and 85 local investors, covering a sprawling 600,000 acres under a robust business-to-business (B2B) framework. This collaboration promises to redefine Pakistan’s agricultural sector by integrating global expertise and resources.

Furthermore, SIFC’s collaboration under the Green Corporate and Livestock Initiative (GCLI) saw the successful importation of high-quality cattle breeds from Brazil, enriching Pakistan’s livestock gene pool with nine distinct breeds.

On the regulatory front, the government, in conjunction with SIFC, streamlined seed certification processes, reducing the seed trial period and advancing towards a comprehensive national seed policy. The initiative also includes the development of a sophisticated Management Information System (MIS) for seed tracking and traceability, ensuring transparency and quality control across the seed supply chain.

The establishment of Agriculture Malls through private partnerships stands out as another milestone, offering farmers convenient access to essential resources like certified seeds, fertilizers, and state-of-the-art agricultural machinery under one roof. This initiative aims to enhance agricultural efficiency and productivity nationwide.

In a bid to strengthen international collaborations, SIFC initiated strategic partnerships for Mangroves restoration projects with the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, focusing on wastewater treatment and investment cooperation respectively.

With these transformative initiatives, SIFC has achieved unprecedented progress in just one year, setting a new benchmark for agricultural development that was once deemed unattainable in a decade.### One Year Achievements of SIFC in Agriculture Sector
