Federal Minister Highlights Importance of Wheat Production and Food Security

Addressing the ceremony virtually, Federal Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain congratulated the farmers and Fatima Fertilizer on their performance, saying, “I congratulate Fatima Fertilizer and all the farmers using Sarsabz fertilisers on securing all three provincial titles and 119 out of 120 district-level positions in the Punjab Wheat Yield Competition. This remarkable achievement is a source of pride for Pakistan. Increasing wheat production and improving crop yields are essential for strengthening Pakistan’s food security. The government is committed to ensuring the procurement of every grain of wheat in coordination with provincial governments. We are also introducing initiatives to improve farmers’ access to quality seeds, modern technology and agricultural financing. I appreciate Fatima Fertilizer’s efforts in promoting balanced fertiliser use and providing farmers with modern agricultural knowledge and advisory services. The government, private sector, research institutions and farmers must work together to transform agricultural productivity and achieve national food security.” Additional Chief Secretary Punjab Iftikhar Ali Sahoo also appreciated the farmers and Fatima Fertilizer for promoting agricultural excellence. He highlighted the announced wheat support price of Rs4,500 per maund and stated that Rs150 billion in interest-free loans had been extended to one million farmers through the Kissan Card since October 15 to help them access agricultural inputs.

Sarsabz Improves on Last Year’s Wheat Yield Competition Results

Speaking at the event, Fatima Fertilizer Director Marketing and Sales Rabel Sadozai said, “Last year (2024-25), Sarsabz users also claimed all three provincial positions and 97 of 120 district positions. This year’s results reflect an improvement on last year and highlight the potential to improve wheat produce through balanced crop nutrition and agronomic guidance. Through Sarsabz, we encourage informed farming practices that help farmers make every acre count, strengthen their livelihoods and contribute to Pakistan’s food security.” The competition results also highlighted the potential to achieve nearly twice the indicative national average wheat yield from the same area of land. While successful Sarsabz farmers recorded approximately 69–70 maunds per acre, the indicative national average stood at around 33 maunds per acre. Fatima Fertilizer supports farmers through agricultural advisory services and soil-testing facilities to help them understand their land’s nutritional requirements and make informed decisions.
