Concave AGRI (Pvt.) Ltd. entered into partnership with the Gilgit-Baltistan Rural Support Programme (GBRSP) to collaborate on identification, commercialization and procurement of agricultural products originating in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB).

The partnership will oversee implementation of precision farming by sharing production technologies for different crops.

GBRSP is a social sector program initiated by the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP), which aims to develop a prosperous society in GB. It strives to improve the quality of life of the people of GB by fostering community-owned institutions, creating livelihood opportunities, and creating human, physical, social, financial and knowledge-based capital for the poor and disadvantaged groups both in rural and urban areas.
“It is unfair that the farmers on the fringes of the country’s geography have to face such difficulties gaining access to quality agri inputs. This collaboration will not only cater to such pressing problems, but also introduce agro-tech in the arena to boost the agricultural game.”
