Apricot farming

[Pakistansdefender]

It makes me so sad. The amount of food we waste. Now these duffers have mobile phones, watch mujras all day but don't Google farming techniques.
Or send their son to study. They don't pay any taxes. But keep running things the same way as they were in mohenjodaro. This is not the field where government can help them.
Government has far more complex issues to solve. You have land. You are a farmer, you have now opertunity too. Most people now travel abroad.

In turkey what ever they eat they produce themselves.
In india too. In other counties too. In Germany and France it is equilent to sin to buy products of nay other country then their own.
But pakistan has Arab mentality but don't have Wells of petrol like them.
They can afford to purchase stuff from all over the world while you cannot.
All our spices except red chilli is imported. We don't grow cloves, nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, black paper, bay leaves, star anise, black and green cardemom.
Nothing and yet we love to eat biryani. These are the spices that go in biryani. And garam masla.
We consume garam masala almost every day and biryani too. We eat spices we don't grow. Though we can grow them all.
We drink tea which we don't produces. Though we can grow it.
We put ginger and garlic in everything. Yet we don't meet our own demands.
There is also the mentality of keeping things elusive rather then commercialisng them. We cannot grow almost, pistachio etc and love to import from Iran.
We don't eat pakistani dates. Etc etc
If we are 6ty largest apricot producing country then we must make dried apricot or its product a major part of our life.
We do make chatni out of it but that's it.
We don't focus on :
Growing locally
Commercialisng local products
And taking pride in eating on local grown food.

At some point is the responsibility of local provincial and local governments to works alongside their farmers and make them aware of the benefits of cultivating these products

but yeah our farmers are illiterate and lacks basic knowledge of the world other than what they have been taught by their parents and they cannot afford to take a risk as otherwise they can risk the bread n butter of their family
