NOWSHERA: Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Monday large scale olive cultivation would prove a best investment for Pakistan in terms of earning valuable foreign exchange as well as ensuring food security.
Speaking at the launching ceremony of countrywide olive cultivation drive starting from Nowshera district, the Prime Minister said the country had immense potential to cultivate olive trees owing to suitable topography and climate from north to south.
He mentioned that water scarce areas such as Sulaiman Mountains near Waziristan, Balochistan’s plains and Punjab’s diverse terrain offered suitable environment for low-irrigation olive farming.
