A well-knitted plan has been prepared for the promotion of Olive cultivation in the Punjab and Azad Kashmir. Official sources told Business Recorder here on Sunday that Sialkot, Narowal, Gujrat, Jehlum, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Attock, Chakwal and Khushab districts were the potential area of Olive cultivation in the Punjab.

Olive orchard cultivation throughout these potential areas of Punjab could produce much quantity of oil, which may certainly bring Pakistan's olive oil import share to zero resultantly enabling its exports to mount sources claimed.

There was a vast potential for olive cultivation in Pakistan which can be adopted by two different ways like new plantation and grafting the available wild varieties. According to the research conducted by Barani Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Chakwal, the prevailing environment, minimum/maximum temperature, soil types, average rainfall and other related growth factors in Sialkot, Narowal, Gujrat, Jehlum, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Attock, Chakwal and Khushab areas are exactly according to olive cultivation requirements.
