ISLAMABAD; In order to restore the declining output of cotton as well as encouraging the growers to bring maximum area under crop production, the government was working on a scheme of incentive for the provision of all major inputs on subsidized rates during current Kharif Season.
“Under the subsidy scheme, government would provide over Rs 2 billion subsidy to cotton growers across the crop sowing areas in the country for ensuring easy credit availability for purchasing inputs including certified seeds, fertilizers and pesticides during coming season”, Cotton Commissioner in the Ministry of National food Security and Research Dr Khalid Abdullah said.
