Potential

Implements

1.      There are five No. sanction posts of Agriculture officers in the District Bajaurfor smoothly execution of Agriculture activities

Four posts are vacant that ultimately impact Agriculture services position will be filled through KPPSC.

2.      Huge acreage of culturable wasteland (29640 acres) in the district and need to be developed in order to make it cultivable.

In order to convert culturable wasteland into cultivable land heavy machinery (Excavator, Bull Dozers) provision is needed to develop barren land and conserve land, also huge budget will be required for this purpose.

3.      A huge potential in vegetable production and need to be value added through processing.

A sufficient amount of vegetable produced in the district and need to be processed for that purpose processing units establishment and Agro-investment must be uncovered.

4.      Lack of Mobility

Agricultural activities and services are mainly field based and vehicle provision is indispensable tosolve the execution problem of field activities.

5.      Agriculture (Extension) Bajaur is having 05 no. Farm Services Centers and 03 Nos Fruit Nursery Farms been considered main resources of the department for the provision of Agricultural services to the farmers on their door steps.

These infrastructures mainly aimed for the provision of Agriculture services to the farmers and are in worst condition and needs rehabilitation and re-construction of existing facilities.

6.      District Bajaur has a fertile land and all kind of crops like cereals, (Wheat, Maize, Rice, Barley etc), Vegetables (Tomato, Cucumber, Turnip, peas, Radish, Cauliflower, Cabbage cucurbit etc) and Fruit orchards, (Plum, peach, persimmon, Walnut, Olive, Apricot etc) could be grown if irrigation water is made available.

Out of Total cultivated area i.e. 77000 hectors only 12000 hectors area is irrigated through different sources. Therefore, establishment of water availability sources are cry of the day to the growing population diet requirement.

7.      Fruit orchards development.

Bajaur district climate and soil fertility level favours all kind of fruit plants and much capacity exists for peach, persimmon.Walnut,olive,plum and apricot orchard establishment in special.

For that purpose more budget may be required for the establishment of new fruit orchards as well as for the development of existing fruit nursery farms in Bajaur.
