Because of the delay caused by ANP and the implementation of thumb verification, it had to be moved to sometime around April.

@Aeronaut why the thread is being removed from sticky ?

I might have misunderstood you but this is not about food reliance within the province. You are part of a large country and other parts of the country produce enough that you could buy. It is like using your land in the best possible way. There are certain type of food and fruit that you can only grow in KPK because of its land and special weather and those food items are generally much costly as compared to conventional crops. You have to think of it analogous to competitive advantage of countries/regions. KPK has more competitive advantage in growing special kind of food items that can actually fetch more money in the market and KPK can use part of that money to import cheaper conventional food items. This would actually help the whole country if we understand basic economics.

Unconventional crops do not have to be fruit and even if growing fruit takes longer, you can divide the land holding into smaller parts and grow fruit in one part and unconventional crops in the remaining area so you could slowly transfer from growing one type of crop to other desired food items in phases. All of this would require intelligent guidance from the people who are trained to work with the farmers and who understand how to help the farmers manage their resources including any possibility of help from the government.

food reliance is very important. I agree with what you are saying, but self-reliance is a step forward.

If I can stretch my argument to extreme in order to explain the gist of it, and ask if you could grow gold in your fields and you are bent on growing wheat for food-reliance, you will not be called intelligent.

Im not saying that what you say is wrong. but diversifying is better. Not all farms will make the shift cause it would take years to grow fruit trees, its a late returning investment..
