The Punjab government has announced plans to establish agricultural malls across the region to enhance the convenience of farmers. These malls are envisioned to become one-stop destinations, ensuring easy access to seeds, fertilizers, and state-of-the-art agricultural machinery for both small and large-scale farmers. Details of the initiative emerged following a meeting held at the Land Information and Management System (LIM), where private institutions nationwide, associated with agriculture, gathered to discuss the implementation of these agricultural malls. During the session, the government's comprehensive plans for the establishment of these agricultural hubs were shared with participants. The announcement highlighted a thorough discussion on facilitating both small and large-scale farmers, inviting private institutions to actively participate in the initiative.

The government aims to create a platform where these institutions can contribute to the economic and financial development of the country by collaborating within the agricultural mall framework. These upcoming agricultural malls, slated to be dispersed throughout Punjab, are poised to streamline the agricultural supply chain, guaranteeing the availability of seeds, fertilizers, and cutting-edge machinery. The Land Information and Management System (LIM) continues to take proactive steps for the development of agriculture in Pakistan, marking a significant stride in advancing the sector.
