Vital sector of Pakistan's economy Accounts for 21.4 percent of GDP Directly supports three-quarters of the country's population, employs 45% of the labor force, and contributes a large share of foreign exchange earnings Main agricultural products are cotton, wheat, rice, sugarcane, fruit and vegetables, in addition to milk, beef, mutton, and poultry. Provider of raw material to industry, stimulates domestic demand and major source of income for rural population (80% of rural population directly or indirectly
depends upon agriculture for income and livelihood)
Agriculture in Pakistan
Pakistan's principal natural resources are arable land
and water. About 25% of Pakistan's total land area is under cultivation and is watered by one of the largest irrigation systems in the world. Pakistan irrigates three times more acres than Russia Has shown growth of 3.3% in FY 2012-2013 Export of Mangoes increased by five times in 2013 Two seasons i-e Kharif and Rabi

Crops
The most important crops are
wheat, sugarcane, cotton, and rice. Pakistan's largest food crop is wheat. Pakistan exports rice, cotton, fish, fruits (especially Oranges and Mangoes), and vegetables, wheat, cotton, pulses and consumer foods. US, EU, China are first 3 major export destinations
Wheat

most of the people of Pakistan it dominates all crops in acreage and production. It accounts for over 70 % of the gross cereals and over 36 % of the country's acreage is devoted to wheat cultivation. Wheat is the most popular cash crop of Pakistan. Support price was increased to 1200 from 1050, Growth of 3.2% than last year
Rice
Rice holds an important position
among the cash crops of Pakistan. 2nd largest staple food 2.7% of Agriculture contribution It fulfills the food requirements of our country but we also earn a lot of foreign exchange from its export. Besides it is an important raw material for manufacturing grain as well as its husk is also used as fodder for cattle. Cultivation area decline by 10.1% compare to last year Reasons being monsoon rain, late receding of water and prolonged sowing
Cotton

Problems of Agriculture
Water logging and salinity Water shortage / Drought
Irrigation
Lack of funds Monopoly Of Foreign Companies Soil erosion Hoarding and Smuggling
Outcome is Food Insecurity, Incompetitiveness, low
productivity
table rises to 1.5 meter. Water evaporation leave salt on surface making land unproductive. Stagnant water then adversely effect the growth of plants.
pump out extra and access water from agricultural land. Deploy drainage systems for control of water in farms.
improve irrigation system. Take legal notice on stealing of water. Improve canals, dams and barrages.
Solution: Pakistani
government should build chemical fertilizer and pesticide industries. Control price of fertilizers.
Lack of funds
The farmers in Pakistan are
not financially strong to manage their cultivation. Improper loan system by government. Solution: Government should improve system of providing loan. Also help farmers to purchase machinery and acquire latest technology.
Green Revolution. Farm mechanization means the use of mechanical technology in the varied farming operations. This technology includes Chemical, Hydrological and Mechanical Technology. The policy has been framed to accelerate the pace of agricultural mechanization in the country.
increase the per acre yield on easy installments If possible subsidy should be given by the government of modern machinery This includes drip irrigation and sprinkle irrigation methods. By using this technique the farmers can save a huge some of money which he pays for irrigation through tubewells and tracktors.
Potential
Livestock has significant potential for poverty reduction, growth and export Increase in Livestock Product use in domestic and international market

With average annual growth rate of about 1.80% per annum.
approximately 117,000,000 per yr. increase which does not include conversion which on the rise currently.
Global Halal products market is estimated at US$2.3 trillion
excluding Islamic banking. If we include service sectors for the Halal market, the potential size of total market is ASTRONOMICAL

SCOPE OF INVESTMENT
49,512 million tonnes of milk provide a promising enterprise, where only 3% is being processing. Small scale farming is not covering the full economic cost. Significant element of economies of scales exist resulting in cost reduction by 30-50% between the small and large scale farms. Huge consumer market exists.
INVESTMENT PLANS
Creation of milk collection network and transportation facilities in the milk catchments ~ Nestle Establishment of milk processing plants leading to production of value added exportable products like reconstitute able milk powder, cheese, butter and yogurt. Establishment of mini pasteurization plants in Peri-Urban Areas.
INVESTMNET PLANS
Establishment of Modern Abattoirs in big cities of Pakistan for value addition of the meat. Creation of disease free zones for supply of quality meat. Organization of the environmentally controlled meat markets & provision of cold chain facilities. Establishment of leather tanning units in Punjab.
INVESTMENT PLANTS
Establishment of Exotic Poultry Grand Parent, Breeding Services in Pakistan. Introduction and Marketing of Modern Hatcheries for Grand Parent and Breeder Poultry. Establishment of Poultry Meat Processing Plants in Pakistan.
