On Sunday, Muhammad Ishtiaq Umar, the Provincial Minister for Environment and Forests, stated that over 70 million wild olive tree plants had been discovered in KP, of which 40 million will be grafted in the next five years with the help of the Agriculture Department.
“In KP, there are approximately 70 million wild olive trees, including merging regions. These plants are inaccessible in some locations due to distant mountainous areas. In the following two years, we will prioritise grafting wild olives in accessible regions with the help of the Agriculture Department for massive afforestation under the 10BTAP “, Ishtiaq Urmar stated.
the project would utilise the agriculture department’s research centres for grafting olive trees, he added.
He went on to say that “olive and bee flora plants, as well as fruits for all,” had been included in 10BTAP, and that planting has already begun.
