In a historic move for agriculture in Sindh, Pakistan, the cultivation of jackfruit, traditionally grown in countries like India and Bangladesh, has begun. This marks a significant milestone as Sindh becomes the first province in Pakistan to embark on commercial jackfruit cultivation.
Tando Jam and Tando Allahyar have been selected as the pioneering locations for this initiative, with officials anticipating a positive impact on the region’s economy. Experts predict that mature jackfruit trees can yield up to 500 fruits annually, offering substantial harvest potential and promising sustainable economic opportunities for local farmers.
The introduction of jackfruit cultivation is expected to diversify farming practices in Sindh, potentially transforming the agricultural landscape and boosting agricultural exports in the future. This initiative is seen as a step towards achieving agricultural self-sufficiency and enhancing food security in the region.
Stay tuned as Sindh sets out on this new agricultural journey, aiming to reap the fruits of its pioneering efforts in jackfruit cultivation.
