Sukkur is a historic city that lies on the west bank of the Indus River in Sindh. Rich in agriculture and ancient landmarks, Sukkur was once a British military garrison in 1839. It grew in importance as a commercial trading hub and still maintains a diverse agricultural landscape, producing cotton, sugarcane, wheat, rice and dates. Climate change has played a significant role in affecting the farming and cultivation of the land.
