The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has taken a significant step to improve the payment system in Pakistan’s agricultural sector. Fatima Fertilizer, a prominent company, and JazzCash, Pakistan’s largest digital wallet, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to digitize payments for farmers.
This collaboration aims to empower farmers economically, especially those without access to local banks, by providing secure, fast, and reliable transactions. The partnership will enable digital payments through the Sarsabz Pakistan Farmer App.
