Proud Moments for Agro Excellence Farms! Reported by PTV News
When PTV News investigated modern agro-farming success stories in Pakistan, they discovered
something remarkable in Talagang, District Chakwal: Agro Excellence Farms, a complete transformation
of what was once barren, unproductive land into a thriving agricultural hub.
Barren Land Transformed in 4 Years
Converted 5,000+ kanal of previously unproductive barani (rain-fed) wasteland in Talagang into fully
functional, productive farmland through modern infrastructure and scientific agriculture.
Timeline: 4 years of intensive development (land preparation, soil rehabilitation, infrastructure
installation, and farmer training).
- 5,000+ Kanal Developed: Barren plateau transformed into cultivable farmland
- Modern Irrigation System: Drip systems, sprinklers, water guns, solar-powered tube wells
installed - Multiple Crops Growing: Wheat, peanuts, chickpeas, taro, sugar cane, canola, garlic, onion,
arvi, carrots, radish and many others. Dates, peach, guava, avocado, injeer and citrus orchards
producing. 100 plus types of shadow, landscaping and forest plantation - Complete Infrastructure: 50-feet roads, water management, soil preparation, gated community
layout - Farmer Training Program: Government + private sector collaboration providing technical
guidance - Proven Model: PTV News verified results; replicable for other barani regions
- Food Security Impact: Contributing to Pakistan’s and Punjab’s agricultural objectives output
and farmer income growth
Achievement # 1: Water Management
“We have now installed a drip irrigation system. The sprinklers and other equipment in the field provide
water very efficiently. The water guns supply additional water, and when the soil is well-irrigated, it leads
to excellent crop yields.”

What PTV Found:
Three-tier modern irrigation system (Private and Government Subsidized
Schemes) solving Pothohar’s critical water scarcity:
1. Drip Irrigation: Water delivered directly to plant roots. Waste was reduced by 70%. Crops
previously impossible in rain-fed areas now thrive.
2. Sprinkler Systems: Even field coverage eliminates waterlogging while maintaining consistent
moisture. Visible improvement in crop health.
3. Water Guns: Portable irrigation for flexible water delivery. Farmers can target water to specific
crops based on growth stage and weather.
Impact:
What required 100 units of water now needs 30 units. Land became productive. Crop
varieties multiplied. Requires less human effort.
Achievement # 2: Crop Diversification
“Previously, the land at Agro Excellence Farms was barren, but now, Mashallah, it has become highly
productive. The farm yields excellent crops, including peanuts, chickpeas, taro, sugar cane, canola, garlic, onion, arvi, carrots, dates, peach, guava, avocado, injeer, root vegetables, and wheat. The citrus and other fruit orchards have also started producing fruit, Mashallah.”

What PTV Confirmed:
Multiple crop types successfully growing on previously barren soil:
- Wheat: Staple food crop. High market demand.
- Peanuts: High-value cash crop. Strong export market.
- Chickpeas: Protein-rich legume. Nitrogen-fixing for soil health.
- Taro & Root Crops: Nutritious vegetables. Year-round cultivation possible.
- Fruit Orchards: Premium fruit. Long-term income stream. Now producing high-quality fruit.
- Shadow & Landscaping Plantation: Upto one lac different kind of plantation including nursery
and foresting.
Impact:
Farm owners went from zero income to multiple revenue streams. Crop diversification
also stabilises income across seasons and protects against market price volatility
Achievement #3: Farmer Training & Knowledge Transfer
Reporter said:
“Through collaboration between the Department of Agriculture and the private sector, farmers are also receiving training and technical guidance, enabling them to achieve higher production from limited resources.”

What PTV Observed:
Structured farmer training programme combining government expertise + private sector resources:
1. Approach & Technique: Conventional and modernized management technique with continuous
training for acceptance.
2. Technical Staff & Machinery: Availability of agriculturist, horticulturist, engineering, labour,
farmers, machinery and storage.
3. Modern Soil Management: Soil testing, pH adjustment, organic matter addition, biofertiliser
use.
4. Irrigation Scheduling: Optimal water timing based on crop growth stage, weather, and soil
moisture.
5. Crop Selection: Variety selection matched to soil type, water availability, and regional climate.
6. Pest & Disease Prevention: Integrated pest management reducing chemical dependency.
7. Market Access: Connecting farmers to buyers for better pricing and consistent demand.
Impact:
Farmers transitioned from traditional methods to scientific agriculture. Knowledge
transfer ensures sustainable productivity growth year after year.
Achievement #4: National Food Security Significance
“Efforts to increase agricultural production in the barren areas of the Pothohar region through modern agro-farming continue. Farmers are now using the latest machinery, seeds, and new irrigation techniques to achieve higher yields.”
Anees Awan, PTV News Reporter
Modern agricultural projects through agro-farming are being considered an important step toward the country’s future food security. In rain-fed areas, modern cultivation is not only increasing farmers’
income but also proving helpful in meeting the nation’s food requirements.

Why This Matters:
Pakistan is an agricultural country, and its economy largely depends on
agricultural products. However, the current trend has shifted from agriculture towards real estate
activities, resulting in a futuristic food security threat.
If Agro Excellence Farms philosophy and model is replicated across rest of the countries undeveloped
land:
- Food Production: 30–50% increase in national agricultural output within 10 years
- Food Security: Shift from import-dependent to self-sufficient commodity markets
- Farmer Income: Rural prosperity increases, preventing urban migration
- Employment: Millions of jobs in agriculture, processing, and distribution
- Climate Resilience: Smart irrigation and soil conservation build agricultural stability
What Made Agro Excellence Successful?
1.Pioneer Idea: Organized and developed agricultural farmlands in a large-scale community of
like-minded people.
2. Centralized Services: Quick and economical solutions with high returns.
3. Strategic Location: Talagang on CPEC Western Route = access to Islamabad/Rawalpindi
premium markets
4. Modern Infrastructure: Solar tube wells, drip irrigation, water management systems installed
upfront
5. Soil Science First: Rehabilitation before expecting yields. Don’t skip soil preparation.
6. Crop Selection: Choose varieties that match climate, soil, and market demand
7. Farmer Training: Government partnership ensures knowledge reaches farmers
8. Gated Community Model: Farmland owners collaborate, share knowledge, and grow together
