KARACHI (Web Desk): Senior Provincial Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has said that the Benazir Hari Card is directly benefiting small farmers by providing them with transparent and organized government assistance.

Speaking to the media in Karachi, Memon said that the Benazir Hari Card, introduced by the Sindh government, marks a new era for farmers across the province. He described it as a modern and fair system designed for the welfare and progress of Sindh’s farmers.

Financial aid and fertilizer under the new scheme

According to Memon, farmers and cultivators are being provided with Urea and DAP fertilizers through the Benazir Hari Card. In cases of natural disasters or crop losses, financial assistance is also being given to the affected farmers under this scheme.

He emphasized that the initiative ensures government aid reaches small-scale farmers directly and transparently. Memon added that the Sindh government’s efforts go beyond improving farmers’ livelihoods — the overall economy of Pakistan will also benefit from this project.

Wheat production expected to rise, imports to decline

The senior minister said that an increase in wheat production within Sindh will reduce the need for Pakistan to import wheat from abroad, helping save valuable foreign reserves and strengthen the national economy.

He expressed hope that in the coming years, with the support of modern technology and government assistance, Sindh’s farmers will achieve higher yields. This, he said, will not only benefit Sindh but contribute to the prosperity of the entire country.

If successfully implemented, it may reduce Pakistan’s dependency on wheat imports and contribute to long-term food security.
