This presentation explains in a comprehensive way, how to cultivate Table Grapes nursery and establish its gardens. Preparation of demonstration blocks, nurseries, arrangement of training workshops and handing over the mother plants to the local farmers of the selected agencies of Bajaur, Kurram, Orakzai and FR Region of Bannu will be done according to the standard protocols. Keeping in mind the arrangement of the seven pillars of Vision 2025 new opportunities could be created via viticulture development. Horticulture is a fast growing sector with rising exports and increasing demand in domestic and international markets. Pakistani fruits, both fresh and dry, have great potential for exports. So, the present project will also contribute in the vision of 2025 (One nation One vision) not only to help in the development of FATA but also in the development of adjacent region. It will give rise to development of industries related to Grapevines products like raisins, juices, jams etc. that will be source of new jobs and development in the region. For the alleviation of poverty by enhancing the socioeconomic status of FATA people through viticulture development, we will further extend our work via developing a new project to extend our work to the remaining agencies like Khyber, Mohmand and Waziristan etc. The selected potential and successful varieties of grapes will be introduced for nurseries development and handing over to farmers of the FATA region in future as mother plants.

5. Grape ( Vitis vinifera L.)
 Grapes are well known for their economic values around the globe.
 Total area for grapes cultivation is approximately 7,568,600 hectares
with a 2% increase per year (Urbi et al., 2014).
 Major grapes producing countries are China, France, Italy, Spain,
Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Argentina, Chile, Australia and
South Africa.
 Grapes need cool winter and relatively dry summer, with temperature
ranging from 15°C to 40°C.
 Grapes required a pH of soil ranges from 5.5-7.0 for its best cultivation
and production (Zabadal, 2002) 4

6. Aims
Introduction of suitable crop (Grapes) in suitable place at suitable
time
1. To find out the suitable Grape varieties, suitable soil and micro
climatic conditions for propagation and extension in semi-arid
subtropical and dry temperate regions of FATA Pakistan.
2. To introduce viticulture in Dry Temperate Ecological Zone of FATA
in particular and adjacent areas in general.
3. To alleviate poverty by enhancing the socioeconomic status of
people of FATA through viticulture development and to Bring
FATA region to the mainstream development in the scenario of
Vision 2025.
