In the light of the “Green Banking Guidelines of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP)” and “Green Banking Policy of ZTBL” the following two Green Banking Products have been developed by the Bank which will help in mitigating the harsh effects of climate change on agriculture, to conserve the natural resources like water, soil energy, etc. The name of the products is as follows:
Soya Bean Cultivation:
Soya bean is one of the most important oilseed crops in the world. It is used in the food industry for flour, oil, margarine, cookies, biscuits, candy, milk, vegetable cheese, lecithin, and many other products. Climate change has badly affected the production of all crops due to a shortage of water, so there is a dire need to grow such alternate crops. Soya bean restores the nitrogen in the soil and enriches the soil nutrients so fewer fertilizers are used for the next crop. It is also drought resistant crop and can survive under less water availability.
Sesbania (Jantar) Fodder Cultivation:
Sesbania (Jantar) crop is a Green Banking Product as it is used as a green manure crop to restore soil fertility, fix nitrogen in the soil, and improve soil organic matter. Jantar crop helps reclaim degraded land and make it productive again. Jantar is a research-based action together for producing salt-tolerant fodder which benefits the land to improve productivity and lessen salinity. Jantar is a drought-tolerant crop and can be suggested in the countries like Pakistan facing water scarcity issues. It not only improves physical properties but also helps in meeting the nitrogen requirement of succeeding crops. Researchers recommend the Jantar crop in all climate-sensitive areas of the country.
Keeping in view the facts explained above, Bank has introduced the subject scheme for farmers living across the country.
