Billion Tree Honey

Prime Minister Imran Khan has on Monday launched the ‘Billion Tree Honey’ Initiative.

Under the Billion Tree Honey Project, one million hectares of Pakistan’s forests will produce seven types of honey.

Whereas, the production of honey will increase from 12,000 metric tons to 70,000 metric tons. Pakistan will be able to export honey worth Rs 45 billion annually to different countries. Furthermore, the Billion Tree project will create job opportunities for 70,000 to 80,000 people.

However, addressing the launching ceremony in Islamabad, the premier said that it is responsibility of his government to hand over a clean Pakistan to younger generations.

He said the TBTTP will help control environmental degradation, including enhancing forest cover, cleaning rivers and protecting ground water from pollution, and checking air pollution.
