ISLAMABAD: The federal budget for next fiscal year should provide an opportunity to revive the agriculture sector’s lost momentum, Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaisar said on Wednesday.
A pro-farmer enabling policy environment is critical to make Pakistan’s agriculture sector globally competitive, Qaiser said during a meeting with Minister for National Food Security and Research, Syed Fakhr Imam.
The minister was convener of the sub-committee of NA Special Committee on Agricultural Products and will now be replaced by MNA Shandana Gulzar Khan.
The NA speaker said that recommendations of the bipartisan special committee are intended to bring about fundamental policy shifts in the interest of farmers and agriculture sector.
