NUSHKI: The cotton cultivation is rapidly gaining ground in Nushki as a promising cash crop, offering farmers higher yields, better profitability, and reduced water requirements compared to traditional crops.
In this regard, the farmers in Nushki mention that cotton not only provides economic stability but also creates opportunities for broader agricultural growth.
In this sense, the local representatives expressed that cultivators stressed the need for a ginning factory in Nushki.
