The government of Balochistan has announced plans to implement hydroponic farming methods as part of its efforts to modernize the province's agricultural sector. This decision was made during a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on the Public Sector Development Program, chaired by Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti in Quetta.
The initiative will initially be rolled out across ten districts within the province, with a view to expanding it to additional areas in the future. During the session, the Chief Minister highlighted that the adoption of hydroponics will create new economic avenues for local farmers in Balochistan, boosting agricultural productivity and sustainability.
Under the plan, hydroponics facilities will be set up in selected districts in the first phase. If the project takes off and delivers results, it will be expanded step by step to other parts of the province.
Reviewing the plan, the chief minister said getting more output with less water is the need of the hour and stressed that modern farming techniques are key to strengthening Balochistan's agricultural economy. He said the project would open new doors for farmers and help put agriculture on a stronger footing.
