Zarai Taraqiati Bank is taking measures to issue in-kind loans to farmers in line with the government efforts for agricultural development by enhancing per acre yield in the country. In an interview, ZTBL President, Zaka Ashraf Chaudhry said here on Sunday that farmers would be provided with fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides and other agri inputs on government-fixed tariffs.
To a question, he said that initially, this facility would be launched in seven districts each in Punjab and Sindh. He said that thirty new branches of the bank would be opened by the end of this year, which would facilitate the growers at their doorstep.
