Today, there are more than 100,000 olive trees in our homeland, of which 22,000 are bearing fruit. It was not easy for Dir Muhammad Israr to accept the suggestion of quitting his contract job at the Italian embassy in Islamabad and grafting olive trees on family land.
"Dad encouraged me and today there are more than 100,000 olive trees on our homeland, 22,000 of which are bearing fruit. There are 25 members of our family in it and each participant is getting at least one million to two million annually.
Muhammad Israr told the BBC that it was in 2004 when he met Italian agronomist Rafael del Seema while working at the Italian embassy, who is currently on a mission to promote olive cultivation in Pakistan. Were
Raphael told me that there are millions of bloody (wild olive) trees in your area (Dir district). This is a very valuable asset. The olive wealth can be obtained by penning pens made from good olive trees brought from Italy.
He says he also had several thousand trees of blood on his own land, but it was not easy to accept the suggestion to quit a good job and do it on a full-time basis. But after consulting his family, he agreed.
