The Punjab Government’s announcement of Rs39 billion subsidies on fertilisers under the Kissan Package is welcoming. The move calls for applause as it will help increase productivity and benefit poor and small farmers. Since agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan’s economy therefore, every effort should be made to help the ailing agriculture sector. It is hoped that the government would continue its efforts to help this sector grow and develop which consequently would pave the way for socio-economic development of the country.
