Based on my 40 years professional experience predominantly in the area of agriculture, I find myself determined to play my part in making the planet Earth a better place to live primarily through economically strengthening the farming class. To achieve this goal, I founded a nonprofit consulting firm Agriculture Management Consultants (AMC) in the year 2007.and have studded it with star professionals.

AGRICULTURE
We can help to make any farmer rich beyond his imagination. The only requirement is education and determination. Only literate farmers can better understand and follow principles of Advanced Commercial Agriculture. Our Agriculture Specialists are highly qualified and most of them hold Doctoral Degrees backed by experience of more than 30 years. We are capable of:
- Making farmers dream come true by planning for enhancing income of per unit area as much as one can dream, per hectare. We are the pioneer to creator a new discipline in agriculture namely “Advanced Commercial Agriculture” (ACA) according to that size of land ceases to matter.
- To do crop modeling, soil mapping and weather modeling. Our Weather Analytics regularly benchmark well against the world’s leading crop forecasts.
- Offering solutions like biotechnology, to advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics Designing and implementation of field experiments
- Manifesting a broad scope of knowledge that includes Crop Production & Protection, Soil Science, Meteorology, Crop Physiology, and related fields like Predictive Modeling
- Doing Genotype x Environment Interaction (GxE) and Yield-Stability Analyses of crops
- Exercising computational statistics, data mining, model building
- Conducting research to improve the quantity and quality of field crops
- Preparing and conducting advisory sessions to farmers, policy makers and other stakeholders
- Analyzing agricultural data and writing reports on findings
- Educating and imparting trainings to farmers and related stake holders on technical and regulatory issues
- Exploring animal genetics, nutrition, reproduction, diseases, growth, and development
ORGANIC AGRICULTURE
Organic Agriculture is being practiced in 187 countries. At least 3.1 million farmers organically manage 72.3 million hectares of agricultural land including in-conversion areas worldwide. The global sales of organic food and drink had reached more than 106 billion Euros in 2019. The regions with the largest organic agricultural land areas are Oceania 35.9 million hectares, which is half the world’s organic agricultural land and Europe 16.5 million hectares (23 percent). Latin America has 8.3 million hectares (11 percent) followed by Asia 5.9 million hectares (8 percent), North America 3.6 million hectares (5 percent) and Africa 2 million hectares (3 percent). In many countries and in Pakistan also the profitable slot of Certified Organic Agriculture is still empty. That is a great opportunity to earn colossal profits. AMC have up sleeve the latest technology and organic certification mechanism. Interested countries, multinational corporations and farmers may contact.
MICROGREENS & SPROUTS
If you are a farmer by temperament and want to earn good profits from agriculture but your land holding is too small, do not worry we are equipped with the technology of Advanced Commercial Agriculture (ACA) and can enable you to earn colossal profits from practicing Hydroponic Farming, Microgreens & Sprouts.
HIGH DENSITY FARMING
High-density (HD) Farming means increasing the number of plants of the same species per unit area without affecting the quality of the farm product. High density orcharding appears to be the most appropriate answer to overcome low productivity and long gestation period for early returns. The control of excessive vegetative growth in the tree for increased productivity is the major principle of high density orcharding. Therefore, controlling tree size by dwarfing root stocks in High Density orchards is one of the methods of increasing production. Success of HD farming is based on increased capture of sunlight per unit area, harnessing of maximum possible returns per unit of inputs, land use efficiency and maintenance of appropriate vegetative reproductive balance of the plants. in many countries HD plantation is also known as Hedge Plantation due to less plant-to-plant distance and relatively larger row-to-row distance. High Density (HD) farming is highly profitable.
BIOFERTILIZERS
We have the expertise to establish Biofertlizer manufacturing plants, Laboratories and manufacture space-age biofertilizers. We can transfer Biofertilizers manufacturing technology to countries, large businesses, small and medium enterprises and individual investors.
We are Biofertilizers Technology Leader in Pakistan. Under the direct supervision and guidance of the AMC Team Lead Hazoor Ahmad Hazoor consulting services were provided to BIS PLUS (PVT) LIMITED in connection with cell mass cultivation of Nitrogen fixing bacteria Azotobacter chroococcum ML101 strain, preparation of dry granular carrier, and finally preparing a Nitrogen Fixing Biofertilizer for marketing in Pakistan. All the Biofertilizer manufacturing processes were accomplished successfully and Government of Punjab through their scientists checked efficacy and quality of the biofertlizer and granted manufacturing license under the registered trade name BIOTAQAT. Agriculture Management Consultants (AMC) have the technology to manufacture biofertilizers based upon Azospirillum, Rhizobium, and Phosphorous Solubilizing Bacteria-PSB Bacillus megatherium, Bacillus polymyxa, Pseudomonas strata, and Pseudomonas rathonis.
We also provide consulting services about manufacturing of biofertlizer containing Potash Mobilizing Bacteria (Frateuria aurentia) and have the technology of manufacturing Biofungicides like Trichoderma viride , a fungal antagonist formulation used for the control of different diseases in crops. This biofungicide is used for the control of all Soil borne fungal diseases like Root Rot, Damping Off and Wilt of different crops like Tomato, Tobacco, Potato, Bringle and other crops. This effectively controls red rot in Sugarcane. The other is Pseudomonas fluorescens that is used both as a biofertilizer and a biocontrol agent. It produces plant growth promoting substances like IAA, Antibiotics and Hydrogen Cyanide. Hence it controls all leaf diseases in all crops and especially in paddy, and pepper.
