Fisheries Department is offering an incentive package to encourage
and improve fish farming in the private sector.

already available for fish farmers throughout the province,
including a 32-acre farm at Farooqabad in the Sheikhupura district
for producing Chinese carp.
Other incentives include soft-term
loans, canal water at agricultural rates, bulldozers at highly
subsidised rates, leased land, quality fish seed at nominal rates,
