DC Attock, Jhelum, and Chakwal came through video link.
"Three to four active farmers from each region should also be included". In addition, WhatsApp groups established at the tehsil level with participation from agricultural officials and farmers offer vital information for crops including rain forecast and seed sale locations, according to Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatttha.
The availability of agricultural products, current techniques to boost output, and the crops that will produce on farmers' land should all be made known to them, he continued.
The commissioner immediately took note of the lack of seeds in Chakwal and the discrepancies at the Land Record Center in Attock, and he or she instructed the pertinent deputy commissioners to take appropriate action.
In order to safeguard animals from illness, he also requested that the livestock director use the vaccines as effectively as possible and carry out independent validations of the livestock department's immunization programs.
"Farmers need to be introduced to value-added crops. Producing fruits, flowers, and vegetables may bring in a lot of money. We need to increase fruit and vegetable production in Potohar from its current 3 percent level to at least 30 percent, Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chattha remarked.
