Meeting of crop management committee
HYDERABAD (April 01 2004): Provincial Minister for
Food and Agriculture Arif Mustafa Jatoi is
expected to chair the meetings of provincial crop
management committees at Sindh Secretariat on
Thursday to discuss the issues confronting various
crops and devise strategy for their development.
Crop experts and representative growers of
concerned crops would attend the meeting and
deliberate on area and production targets and
other related matters.
According to sources close to agriculture sector
the rice is expected to be cultivated on 0.5
million hectare of land in six rice growing
districts of the province.
Last year, an area of 0.551 million hectare was
brought under rice cultivation and production
target of 1.432 million tones have been achieved.
This year, target is expected to reduce by 51,000
hectare as cotton cultivation has been
successfully introduced in rice growing districts
of Larkana, Jacobabad and Shikarpur under the plan
to replace high delta crop by low delta crop.
