The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) and Fatima Fertilizer took the initiative for the week-long celebrations aimed at showcasing the rich the agricultural heritage of Pakistan.
Farmers’ Day celebration in Dubai highlights the important role farmers play in global food security and seeks to make the global audience of Dubai Expo realise their significance in bringing food to the table.
The pavilion was split into two key seasons of Rabi and Khareef – with key crops of Rabi being wheat and for Khareef, it is cotton and rice. In addition, fruits like mangoes and oranges play a crucial role in Pakistan’s agricultural economy and are popular here in UAE.
Visitors to the Pakistan Pavilion were also served with desserts from rural Pakistan, which are popular among farmers. Traditional handmade pottery from Pakistan was also distributed and visitors had their names calligraphed on the pottery as special memorabilia.
Fawad Ahmed Mukhtar, CEO of Fatima Fertilizer, highlighted the need for Pakistani companies to actively participate in international forums and aggressively work towards promoting Pakistan’s soft image around the world.
“Farmers are the backbone of our nation, and Fatima Fertilizer is the first company to have come forward to pay a glowing salute to them by coining December 18 as ‘Kissan Day’”, he said.
