KHAN launches Olive plantation process
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday has launched olive plantation campaign in Nowshera district. Prime Minister Imran Khan reached Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on a day-long visit.
The premier was accompanied by Defence Minister Pervez Khattak, Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Shah Farman, Provincial Chief Minister Mahmood Khan and Special Assistant on Climate Change Amin Aslam.
Imran Khan was briefed about the olive plantation drive as the government is giving priority to olive cultivation which will not only make the farmers prosper but also help save foreign exchange.
The PM, while addressing the inauguration ceremony, said, “Successful olive plantation campaign will benefit Pakistan by addressing climate change and increasing exports of the country.
“Pakistan spends a lot on import of edible oil that can be reduced with the production of olive oil locally by planting olive trees particularly on western bank of the Sindh River. Balochistan’s land is also suitable for olive plantation.
