Growers split over budget, dub allocation as peanuts
June 12, 2021
LAHORE/KARACHI: Farmer organisations have expressed mixed vibes over the federal budget for the year 2021-22, saying the government’s hyped pro-grower stance failed to reflect in the allocations.
Hassan Ali Chaniho, a progressive farmer belonging to Sanghar district of Sindh, said the budget was devoid of pro-farmer steps despite the challenges facing the agriculture sector.
“The problems like low productivity of cotton, minimal mechanisation, water scarcity, farm credit issues, etc have not been addressed, while allocating funds for the federal budget 2021-22,” Chaniho said.
“It is astonishing to note that no attention is being paid to reviving cotton in the country.”
