75% Subsidy on Olive Saplings: A Golden Opportunity for Aspiring Farmers

Samahani, Azad Kashmir: In a landmark move aimed at boosting local agriculture and fostering self-sufficiency, the Government of Azad Kashmir in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture has announced a 75% subsidy on olive saplings. This initiative presents a golden opportunity for those eager to establish olive gardens in the region.

According to a spokesperson from the Agriculture Departmentโ€™s Samahani sub-division, the subsidy scheme has been introduced in response to a noted high demand for olive saplings. Under this program, each applicant will receive a minimum of 25 saplings at heavily discounted rates, courtesy of the government subsidy. Interested farmers and investors are invited to submit their applications by visiting the nearest agricultural extension centers, including locations in Bundala, Samahani, Choki, Poonch, and Dal Khambah, during regular office hours. All applications must be submitted by February 24, 2025.

This forward-thinking initiative is viewed as a major step toward promoting agricultural growth and enhancing the economic well-being of local farmers. By making olive cultivation more accessible and cost-effective, the government aims to significantly increase olive production in Azad Kashmir, contributing to both regional development and sustainable agricultural practices.
