Pakistan is implementing reforms in agriculture, livestock and the blue economy under the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) to attract international investment and modernise its agri-based economy, officials said on Thursday.
According to a news report, the initiatives fall under the government’s Green Pakistan Initiative, which seeks to use technology and sustainable practices to boost productivity, strengthen food security and enhance export potential.
A major component of the reforms is “LIMS Pakistan,” a digital platform that uses satellite imagery and data analytics to provide farmers with real-time information on irrigation, pest control and crop forecasting. Another programme, “Farm Grow,” aims to improve livestock productivity through scientific breeding, enhanced nutrition and better veterinary services.
The SIFC is also focusing on developing the blue economy through aquaculture projects that promote fish farming, marine biodiversity and employment in coastal regions.
Officials said these efforts are being pursued through public-private partnerships and business-to-business investment models, with participation encouraged from both local and foreign investors. They added that the reforms link technology, research and investment to help Pakistan achieve greater self-sufficiency and long-term agricultural growth.
