With the launch of this service, Mobilink is looking to harness the strength of its extensive telecommunications network to connect farmers, agribusinesses, and rural communities, in a bid to drive productivity, profitability, and innovation.

“With the launch of our ‘Ba Khabar Kisaan’ service, Mobilink is showcasing that mobile operators can offer much more than just basic communication facilities,” said Syed Babar. “This service is in line with the direction we took by re-introducing Jazz, as we now want to offer our subscribers freedom of choice, digital empowerment and the power to do more with less; ultimately becoming the first Telco to reach out and reshape all echelons of society.”

It focuses on three main points of the agricultural sector – productivity losses, supply chain inefficiencies, and financial exclusion – by offering relevant & timely information, supply chain related services, and mobile financial services.
