Chairman Pakistan Hi Tech Hybrid Seed Association (PHHSA) Shahzad Ali Malik Friday hailing the prudent decision of withdrawing 17% Sale Tax in budget on all kinds of seeds said it would promise to boost agriculture production manifolds in the country to meet the ever increasing food staple needs of growing population in the wake of impending hovering threat of food insecurity.
He said entire agriculture sector expressed their profound gratitude to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Federal Finance Minister Miftah Ismail and especially Governor Punjab Baligh-Ur-Rehman who put up their genuine case with prime minister and got him convinced that levy of 17% on all kinds of seeds is injustice with poor farmers.—APP
