The Agriculture Department of Balochistan is committed to promoting sustainable agricultural development and ensuring food security across the province. We aim to empower farmers through access to modern techniques, improved seed varieties, and efficient irrigation systems suited to the region’s arid climate. Our mission is to increase productivity, enhance livelihoods, and strengthen rural economies through research, innovation, and education. We oppose all practices that harm the environment or exploit agricultural workers. We believe in an inclusive agricultural system that respects local traditions while embracing advancement. With a focus on water conservation, crop diversification, and farmer training, we call on all stakeholders to participate in shaping a resilient agricultural future. A thriving agricultural sector is one in which both the land and the people who cultivate it are respected and supported.

Initiated programs focused on efficient water management, including drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting, to combat water scarcity in farming communities. These initiatives helped reduce water waste and improved crop yields in drought-prone areas. Community awareness campaigns were also conducted to encourage water-saving practices among farmers.
Introduced new varieties of drought-tolerant and heat-resistant crops to help farmers adapt to changing climate conditions. Field trials and demonstrations were organized to showcase the benefits of these crops. The department worked closely with agricultural research centers to continuously develop and distribute improved seed varieties.
Increased outreach programs to train farmers on modern agricultural techniques, pest management, and sustainable practices. Workshops and hands-on training sessions were held in multiple districts, empowering farmers to adopt innovative and cost-effective farming methods. The use of digital platforms for remote advisory services was also introduced to reach more farmers.
Rolled out a provincial organic farming policy to encourage eco-friendly farming methods and reduce chemical dependency. The policy included support for certification processes and market linkages for organic produce. Farmers received training on organic inputs and pest control, leading to increased interest in sustainable agriculture.
Installed over 120 solar tube wells, providing clean energy irrigation solutions to remote and water-scarce areas. This initiative reduced farmers’ reliance on expensive fuel-powered pumps and lowered greenhouse gas emissions. Maintenance and technical support programs were also launched to ensure the sustainability of these systems.
Expanded fruit orchard cultivation, especially apples and cherries, leading to increased production and new market access for farmers. The department facilitated access to quality saplings, irrigation, and pest control measures to maximize yield. Partnerships with local and national markets helped farmers secure better prices and expand their businesses.
