 * Needs an article in the English Wikipedia, not a lone reference for a navigation list. The link you provided points to some of his works. You need to write an article that talks and documents a little more about where he came from, DOB, studies, deeds, life, than just a list of literary works. If yoiu have references to write such an article, then please look at AfC. Once there is an article written, and accepted, then it can be added to the list. If you have any questions about how Wikipedia works, please ask at the Tea House. -- Alexf(talk) 19:31, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

” Over the last one and half years, we have able to help farmers grow olive plants over 5000 acres,” says Dr. Muhammad Ramzan, a horticulture expert. He believes that only in the Punjab province, there are 20 million acres of such a waste land that can be used for the cultivation of olive trees. The per acre initial cost of olive cultivation is not more than Rs 50000 (US $ 500) but the grower can earn Rs 100,000 to Rs 150,000 (US $ 1000 to US $ 1500) annually. The olive trees starts giving fruit at the age of 3 years and gives produce for atleast 100 years to the optimum level. The tree has a life of 900 years. The cultivation of Olive tree was experimented some 30 years ago jointly by Pakistan Agriculture Research Centre, Pakistan Oilseed Development Board and Barani Agriculture Research Institute (BARI). Some 69 olive varieties have successfully been planted in Pakistan. The local research institute has developed two varieties—Bari Zaitoon I and Bari Zaitoon II. These varieties can be sown in Southern Punjab, Balochistan and Kashmir in addition to Potowar region. In addition to oil, pickle, jam, jelly , biscuit and hot drinks can be developed from olive fruit. “ The production of olive oil in Pakistan can help bring down the edible oil import bill significantly that presently stands at US $ 2 billion,” says Muhammad Imran, Manager of Olive Oil Extraction Mill. It is believed that the local production of olive oil is all set to help make the oil available at Rs 1000 as compared to Rs 2000 of the imported commodity.
