26. History of Olive in
Pakistan:
• Olive was introduced first time in
Pakistan by PARC during 1986
under an Italian Project titled
“Fruit, Vegetable and olive
Project” funded by Government
of Italy
• A general survey was
conducted to count naturally
occurring olive and found more
than 80 Million wild Olive plants
in different district of Pakistan.

27. Promotion of Olive Cultivation for Economic
Development and Poverty Alleviation:
 This project was awarded to government of Pakistan by the Italian government
under the Debt Swap Agreement at total cost of Rs.382,153,016 (Three Hundred
Eighty Three Million One Hundred Fifty Three Thousand Sixteen Only).
 The project is in operation through PARC, s strong coordination system in KPK,

 Main objectives of the olive promotional project are to expand the cultivation of
olives in selected / identified areas through new plantation in Baluchistan,
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, FATA and Potohar.
 To set up a number of new olive processing facilities (4 oil mills).

28. NEED FOR OLIVE CULTIVATION IN PAKISTAN:
 The total domestic consumption of edible oil is around 1.9 million tons, out of
which 1.3 million tons is being imported from abroad. As many as Rs:28 billions

 The total production of banola oil is around 450,000 tons, Sunflower 77,000
tons, Canola 32,000 tons and other seeds is 700 tons per year in the country.
Hence, 70% oil is being imported against local production of 30%.

29. POTENTIAL OF OLIVE CULTIVATION IN
PAKISTAN:
 Three approaches:
 CONVESRSION OF WILD OLIVE TO PRODUCTIVE TREES THROUGH GRAFTING.
 CULTIVATION OF OLIVE ON CULTURABLE WASTE LANDS.
 CULTIVATION OF OLIVE AS NEW CROP.

30. POTENTIAL EARNING FROM GRAFTING
OF WILD OLIVE:

TOTAL 8.00 million =SUM(ABOVE) 64712.0

31. POTENTIAL EARNING FROM OLIVE CULTIVATION
ON CULTURABLE WASTE LANDS:
 The Punjab Government in Pakistan plans to use the naturally well-drained soil
and climatic conditions of Punjab wastelands to promote olive farming.
