Pakistan is also facing the same problem particularly in the province of Balochistan. The PACCD (Pakistan Agriculture Cold Chain Development) project is working on innovative and updated horticulture interventions to boost the agriculture sector in the province of Balochistan. The finding of PACCD suggested that cultivation of high density, early bearing, innovative and dwarf apple and grapes varieties along with efficient irrigation system could increase profitability and productivity on sustainable basis in the Balochistan province of Pakistan.
