Pakistan has emerged as a leading global producer of potatoes, yielding over eight million tonnes annually. This surge in production can be attributed to expanded agricultural land utilization and improved farming techniques. Over the past three years, the country has witnessed a remarkable 35 percent increase in potato output.

While China holds the top position in potato production, Pakistan follows as the ninth largest producer globally, trailing behind countries like India, Ukraine, Russia, and the USA. The majority of Pakistan's potato cultivation, approximately 80 percent, occurs in Punjab province, which has experienced a notable uptick in potato farming activity in recent times.

Maqsood Ahmad Jutt, President of the Potato Growers Association, views this uptrend in production as a noteworthy accomplishment for the agricultural sector. He highlights Pakistan's successful potato export endeavors, with key destinations including Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, the UAE, the Russian Federation, and Qatar.

Although there was a decline in the value of potato exports between 2015 and 2019 despite an increase in export volume, Pakistan's overall potato exports have demonstrated a steady 3 percent annual growth rate.

PTCL Group Rockets 25.8% in 2023, But Currency Woes Lead to Net Loss

Pakistan's telecom giant, PTCL Group, saw impressive revenue growth of 25.8% in 2023, reaching Rs 190.6 billion. Fixed broadband, mobile data, and business solutions fueled this surge. However, a falling Rupee and high interest rates resulted in a net loss of Rs 14.1 billion. Notably, they acquired Telenor Pakistan, marking a significant move.

Within the group, PTCL itself performed well, generating Rs 96.3 billion (15.4% up). Growth stemmed from broadband and business solutions, with their high-speed Flash Fiber service showing strong gains.

Overall, PTCL Group and its subsidiaries like Ufone and U Microfinance Bank exhibited promising revenue growth in 2023, despite facing some financial challenges.
