March 16, 2020: The government will provide 400 million rupees subsidy to framers on the import of PB Rope from the current cotton sowing season.

According to Cotton Commissioner in the Ministry of National Food Security and Research Dr Khalid Abdullah, subsidy for PB Rope imports for about 2,00,000 hectares would be provided to help overcome threats of pest attacks on crop during its fruiting season and save the crop from damage.
