Years of olive research

The science behind our olives

Olive, grown the hard way: in Pakistan's rainfed north

Olive in Pakistan was worked out the slow way — on barani land in the Pothwar and the Soon Valley, over three decades of public research: how to propagate it, which varieties yield here, what the trees need, when to pick, and what the fruit can become.

That last question is where Zuriyat begins: the same research settled how olive is pickled and preserved. It is the work of Muhammad Ashraf Sumrah, Principal Scientist at the Barani Agricultural Research Institute, Chakwal.
