Self-sufficiency in food production lessened negative impacts of global food & financial crisis in Pak: Gondal

ISLAMABAD, (SANA): Minister for Capital Administration and Development Nazar Muhammad Gondal has said self-sufficiency in food production has lessened the negative impacts of global food and financial crisis in Pakistan.

Inaugurating Pak-Brazil Seminar on Food security and Poverty Alleviation in Islamabad Monday, he said we believe that agriculture led growth is highly effective in reducing poverty on sustainable basis. He said a vibrant agriculture sector, therefore, offers enormous opportunities to reduce food insecurity and hunger.

He said government is focusing on enhancing agricultural growth by introducing pro-farmer policies, which enhance farm profitability.

The Brazilian ambassador Alfredo Leoni said his country announced the Zero Hunger Action Plan for Pakistan, envisaging five year time to reach a total of 61 million people across the country.
