Govt Takes Another Step to Digitize Farmers, Land, Soil and Water Records

The Pakistani government has taken another step towards digitizing farmers, land, soil, and water records as part of its efforts to modernize the country's agriculture sector. This proposal, known as the Digital Farmers' Diary and AgriStack system, was discussed during a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

The proposed system aims to digitize records of farmers and agricultural land across the nation, along with information from soil and water testing. Additionally, the government plans to introduce the Pakistan Good Agriculture Practices system to promote better farming practices and improve agricultural productivity. The meeting also addressed the importance of increasing per acre yields, modernizing agriculture, developing the livestock sector, and expanding agricultural exports, which require effective coordination between federal and provincial governments.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the need for greater value addition in agricultural products to boost exports, and directed commercial officers to promote agricultural exports and identify new markets for Pakistani products.
