First Most, our farmers/households living in these areas have small parcel of lands, but not very good returns due to “middle man” specifically, cash strapped, and then technology. Also what they grow is not very good priced crops. This area has potential of growing Olives, the model villages for different crops, with Olive’s trees as long term investment, which will give additional income to farmers.

I have been involved in “Olive Pakistan” for last four years or so.
I have vast experience in mobilizing, encouraging, farmers and land owners in Khyber Pukhtunkhawa & Punjab the regions specifically Naushera, Mardan, Swat, Malakand, Deer, & Attock, Rawalpindi, Chakwal, Khushab Districts.

I believe one needs dedicated personnel to run this project successfully, those who are madly in love with Olives. I have some concepts to improve our farmers/households in the above areas through Olives. We started with 100KG four years ago and last year the Olive fruit collected by us is more than 2500KG. The next year it will reach 5,000 as per our contacts with Olive grower’s number of trees which has reached commercial harvest have increased two folds. The trees by small farmers/landowners had been added every year, but boom needs inputs like Olive Saplings.

One such plan is to provide olive saplings to small farmers at reduced rates, and assist them.

We are looking for investors for olive orchards plantations,
we are looking for donors to assist us in distributing plants of olives to poor farmers, so they can add earnings in years to come and for better living.
