The agricultural sector in Pakistan contributes approximately 24% to GDP and employs around 47% of the labor force. Pakistan has good potential for agricultural production due to its diverse ecological zones. Major crops include wheat, rice, sugarcane, maize, and cotton. Agriculture is the primary source of foreign exchange earnings, providing over 60% of export earnings. However, water availability is decreasing rapidly which threatens future agricultural productivity and food security. The government is promoting mechanization to boost efficiency and output.
Agriculture is a major source of income and employment in Pakistan, with over 20% of GDP and 45% of the labor force coming from agriculture. Some key crops produced are wheat, rice, sugarcane, and cotton, which constitute around 75% of total crop production. However, agriculture in Pakistan faces challenges such as flooding, waterlogging, lack of irrigation, and inadequate transportation infrastructure. Improving control of water issues, providing more farmer training, and adopting modern techniques could help overcome these constraints.
Background of Pakistan Economy a historical perspectiveAyesha Majid
- Pakistan experienced high economic growth during Ayub Khan's rule from 1958-1968, with GDP growth averaging nearly 7% annually. This exceeded growth in other large countries.
- Large increases in investment, especially private investment, contributed significantly to economic growth. Investment as a percentage of GDP peaked at 21.5% in 1964-1965.
- Inflation remained low at an average annual rate of 3.3% due to price controls and reduced government borrowing.
- Tax revenues increased substantially during this period, allowing additional spending on defense while keeping inflation in check. This was unique for Pakistan's fiscal history.
Agriculture is an important sector for Pakistan's economy. The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for implementing agriculture policy. Agriculture contributes 19.87% to Pakistan's GDP and employs 43.7% of the labor force. Major crops include wheat, sugarcane, cotton, maize and rice. Livestock also makes up a large part of the agriculture sector, producing milk, meat and other products. However, Pakistan's agriculture faces problems like underutilization of land, outdated practices, and lack of infrastructure and research.

industries sector of pakistan and its importance in the economy of pakistanSami Swati
The document summarizes several key industries in Pakistan's economy, including textiles, sugar, cement, fertilizer, sports goods, mining/extraction, and telecommunications. Textiles is the largest industry and biggest export, contributing over 60% of export earnings and 8.5% to GDP. Other major industries are sugar (second largest after textiles), cement (fifth largest cement exporter globally), and fertilizer (contributes 14% to GDP). The industries sector contributes 24.3% to Pakistan's GDP but faces problems like power shortages, lack of training/technology, and security issues that impact investment. Solutions proposed include increasing foreign investment, innovative technologies, alternative energy sources, and workforce development.
The document outlines the economic growth patterns of Pakistan over several eras since independence in 1947. It discusses structural changes in Pakistan's economy from the late 1940s to 2015, including a shift from agriculture to industry and services. Several five-year plans aimed to boost various sectors. Overall, Pakistan saw average GDP growth rates of around 3-6% in different periods, with some challenges like wars and economic crises. The performance of Pakistan's economy is also compared to India and broader world economic trends.
Agriculture is an important sector for Pakistan's economy, contributing approximately 24% to GDP and employing over 40% of the labor force. The major crops grown in Pakistan are wheat, rice, cotton, sugarcane, and maize. Pakistan has the 5th largest livestock population in the world, including buffalo, cattle, goats, sheep, and poultry. Agriculture provides food security, employment, foreign exchange earnings, and reduces poverty and inflation in Pakistan. However, the sector remains underdeveloped and more government support is needed for its improvement.
Agriculture is an important sector in Pakistan's economy, contributing approximately 24% to GDP. Major crops include wheat, rice, cotton, and sugarcane. Wheat and rice production have significantly increased due to the Green Revolution in the 1960s which introduced high-yielding varieties and improved farming techniques. Agriculture provides over 40% of employment in Pakistan and is the main source of foreign exchange earnings through exports of crops like cotton. The sector helps reduce poverty and unemployment while supplying critical food to the population.
Industrial & Manufacturing Sector of PakistanAhsan Farooq
The manufacturing sector in Pakistan accounts for approximately 20% of GDP and has historically been an important driver of economic growth. However, manufacturing production and the sector's contribution to GDP growth has fluctuated over time, experiencing periods of growth as well as declines. Growth depends on factors such as availability of energy and raw materials, domestic political stability, global economic conditions, and macroeconomic policies. The largest subsectors are textiles, food processing, and cement, though Pakistan also has industries in chemicals, engineering, electronics, and others. Barriers to further growth of the manufacturing sector include limited access to capital and technology, infrastructure challenges, and inefficiencies.
Pakistan's trade deficit in 2016 was $23.9 billion, with imports exceeding exports. Exports were led by house linens and rice, while imports were led by refined petroleum and crude petroleum. China was both the largest export destination and import origin. While initiatives like CPEC and TIFA aim to expand trade, Pakistan faces challenges of reducing its fiscal and trade deficits, attracting investment, and diversifying its export base beyond textiles.
Agriculture is a major part of Pakistan's economy, accounting for 26% of GDP and employing 44% of the labor force. Major crops include wheat, rice, maize, cotton, and sugarcane. However, agricultural yields are lower than international benchmarks due to problems like limited cultivated land, outdated farming methods, lack of infrastructure, waterlogging and salinity issues, and poor irrigation systems. To address these issues, solutions proposed include abolishing feudal land ownership practices, improving seed quality, constructing new dams, providing farmers access to modern machinery, and developing new agricultural policies tailored to small farmers.

This document discusses the impact of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Pakistan's economy. It notes that Pakistan has a semi-industrialized economy that relies heavily on agriculture, contributing 25% to GDP. As a WTO member, Pakistan has reduced import tariffs from over 80% to 30% currently. However, the WTO's policies threaten Pakistan's agriculture sector through requirements to reduce subsidies while developed countries continue providing heavy subsidies. Maintaining a liberal trade regime but providing industry support and balancing imports and exports will be important for Pakistan's economic sustainability and growth under the WTO.
Manufacturing and Small Scale Industries of Pakistan MaherMubeen
Detailed view about the industrial sectors of Pakistan. Their history. import or export status. problems and recommendations to improve current status.
Pakistan has a mixed economy that relies on agriculture, services, and light industries. It faces several economic challenges including low savings and exports, high imports and government spending, and lagging social indicators. The economy suffers from issues like corruption, poverty, and periods of political instability including military dictatorships. Education levels are relatively low, inflation and poverty are problems, and child labor remains widespread. Monetary and fiscal policies aim to influence economic activity but challenges persist.
Hammad Ul Hussan discusses industrial development in Pakistan in 5 phases from 1947 to 2008. Key industries include cotton textiles, mining, sugar, surgical equipment, sports, and minor industries. Industrial development plays a vital role in Pakistan's economic growth by increasing income, stimulating other sectors, providing employment, boosting agriculture, reducing population growth, enabling defense capabilities, lessening pressure on land, and increasing government revenue through taxes.
The economy of Pakistan has the 27th largest GDP by purchasing power and 45th by nominal GDP. Pakistan has a semi-industrialized economy based around textiles, chemicals, food processing, agriculture and other industries. In its early decades after independence in 1947, Pakistan experienced average annual GDP growth of 6.8% in the 1960s, 4.8% in the 1970s, and 6.5% in the 1980s. More recent decades have seen lower growth rates and challenges including high fiscal deficits, inflation, declining exports, and issues with governance, infrastructure, and security. Major industries include textiles, mining, cement, telecom, sports goods, sugar, and fertilizer.
The document discusses Pakistan's energy sector and energy crisis. It notes that electricity in Pakistan is generated mainly through thermal, hydel, and nuclear sources. Approximately 55% of the population has access to electricity. It is experiencing a severe energy crisis with shortages of 4,000-9,000 MW per day, costing the economy billions. To resolve this, it suggests increasing investment in renewable sources like wind, where Pakistan has significant potential to develop wind farms and power coastal areas.
Pakistan's major agricultural issues since independence and how agriculture's contributions has drastically declined in comparison with manufacturing and services businesses.
The document summarizes Pakistan's agriculture sector. It states that agriculture accounts for about 21% of Pakistan's GDP and 43% of the labor force. The top crops are wheat, sugarcane, cotton, rice, and maize. Pakistan is a major global producer and exporter of cotton, rice, fruits, and dairy. Livestock also contributes significantly to the economy, with Pakistan being the 4th largest milk producer. The government aims to further develop the agriculture sector through loans, subsidies, and other initiatives.
This document provides an overview of agricultural stagnation in Bihar, India over the past century. Key points:
- Agricultural growth in Bihar has been the slowest of any Indian state at just 0.7% annually over the past 40 years.
- Recent data shows Bihar has caught up in fertilizer, seed, tractor and pump usage, but productivity remains low and highly variable compared to other states.
- High costs of irrigation from expensive diesel pumps means farmers economize on groundwater use, resulting in low and unpredictable yields and cropping intensity. Lack of electricity access drives the high price of diesel irrigation.
- While some data showed a growth spurt after 2000, this was
This document summarizes agricultural trends in Bihar, India over the past century. It finds that despite increases in fertilizer and irrigation use, agricultural productivity and growth have remained stagnant or increased slowly. Average rice yields in parts of Bihar are similar now to what they were over 100 years ago, and cropping intensity has not increased significantly. The document also identifies issues with Central Statistical Organization data that have led some to report inaccurate higher growth rates in recent decades. High costs of diesel-powered irrigation are proposed as a key reason underlying continued low yields and weather-dependent agriculture in Bihar.

development experiences of india and neighbour countriesguestf4d2be
The document compares the developmental experiences of India, China, and Pakistan over time. It discusses their early developmental strategies and economic policies, including five-year plans. China focused on collectivization and heavy industry while India and Pakistan emphasized public sectors and social development. More recently, all three have shifted employment and output away from agriculture, though this shift has occurred more slowly in India. China's growth is now driven by manufacturing, while services drive growth in India and Pakistan. China leads in selected human development indicators like life expectancy and literacy.
comparison of india,pakistan and china.pptxSidhiSarika
- India, China, and Pakistan are the three largest neighbors in Asia, with China being the most populous and India being the second most populous.
- China has shifted from an agrarian to industrial and service economy through reforms, while India and Pakistan still rely heavily on agriculture.
- China's one-child policy helped reduce population growth but will lead to more elderly in the future. India and Pakistan still have high fertility rates.
- China's economy has grown the fastest through industrialization and reforms, while growth has declined in India and Pakistan in recent decades.
Agriculture in Bihar: the latent sector of development inventionjournals
Bihar is the third most populous state in India with majority of its population depending on agriculture. Thus, agriculture yet forms the backbone of development. An average Indian still spends almost half of his/her total expenditure on food and roughly half of India’s work force is still engaged in agriculture for its livelihood. Being both a source of livelihood and food security for a vast majority of low income, poor and vulnerable sections of society, its performance assumes greater significance in view of the proposed National Food Security Bill and the ongoing Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) scheme. The experience from BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South African) countries indicates that a one percentage growth in agriculture is at least two to three times more effective in reducing poverty than the same growth emanating from non-agriculture sectors. Thus with proper thrust on technologies, institutional direction, farm level support services, all delivery mechanisms, improved farm infrastructure including rural connectivity , Bihar could be developed as a granary of India. It can also be developed as the major hub of fruits, vegetables, and fisheries for both national and global markets. The entire economic growth processes in Bihar depends on the dynamics of agriculture. There are successful experiments in different parts of the country, which if adopted, can provide an answer to various problems which Bihar is facing in its race to higher productivity levels. Bihar can then surely catch up with the present productivity levels of rice and wheat in Punjab and other cherished goals in maize, pulses, oilseeds, horticulture and livestock production in the next few year Plans. The paper tries to prove that if agriculture is developed systematically then agriculture can be one of the major profit earning sectors for Bihar.
Abstract: Punjabi society is most globalised, while its economy is least globalised. It has a relatively developed agriculture without much direct linkages with the industrial development. During sixties, India agriculture experienced a spectacular increase in production, especially, in that of wheat and rice. It was mainly through an increase in productivity per hectares of these crops. The jump in the rate of increase in productivity of these crops was so sudden and conspicuous that some economists termed the new change as 'Green Revolution’ The main benefits of green revolution were: Increase in food grain output, increase in market surplus, generation of more employment opportunities in the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, having such great benefits green revolution was not a blessing for the farmers in Punjab. It added lots of problems in the lives of the farmers and made their life full of misery. Punjab has produced a number of paradoxes. The thrust of the paper is to suggest agricultural reforms for future course of growth and development for agriculture sector and ways and means to improve sustainability of agriculture production.
Comparative analysis of China and Nigeria agricultural reforms in the advance...bijceesjournal
Due to the rapidly growing population of China and Nigeria, a top government objective is ensuring food security. Dietary security is the ideal in which everyone has physical, social, and economic access to adequate requirements and food preferences for a healthy and active life, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States (1). The differences and similarities in reforms regarding agricultural policies, programs, and structure of Chinese and Nigerian nations are discussed and analyzed. This study also correlates the findings between the two countries. It investigates, enhances, and deepens the understanding of various reforms in the countries. Its strengths, weaknesses, and impacts on agricultural production were also appraised; a conclusion and recommendations were drawn as a result. The data source method was purely secondary, and the theoretical modernization framework was adopted to deepen the understanding of the social edifice.
Agricultural Development In India Since IndependenceJim Jimenez
This document summarizes a journal article about agricultural development in India since independence. It provides context that agriculture was the main source of India's economy at independence, contributing 50% of national income. Since then, agriculture's contribution has declined to 18% today. The document reviews India's agricultural policies since independence, divided into four phases, and discusses steps taken including land reforms, price supports, and the "Green Revolution" strategy of the 1960s. It evaluates changes in Indian agriculture over time and will analyze sources of agricultural growth and determine factors influencing agricultural production.
The document compares the development strategies and experiences of India, Pakistan, and China since gaining independence. It outlines the key policies and approaches taken in each country, such as economic planning, public sector development, and economic reforms. Some key findings are that China has experienced the highest growth and improved most on human development indicators. India's performance has been moderate with many still in poverty, while Pakistan has struggled with political instability and high debt.
The document discusses the need for holistic structural reforms in India's farm sector rather than just administrative improvements. It outlines 10 key promises made as part of India's Self Reliant economic recovery package to reform the farm sector. However, it argues these measures alone will not achieve self-reliance and higher growth unless accompanied by deeper structural reforms addressing issues like small landholdings, low productivity, and the characteristics of India's large farming community. Comprehensive reforms are needed at the farm, policy, and social levels to fundamentally improve conditions for farmers.
- The document compares economic growth under Musharraf's military dictatorship to subsequent democratic regimes in Pakistan from 2008-present.
- During Musharraf's era from 1999-2008, Pakistan's economy grew at an average of 7% annually, with large-scale manufacturing and services growing at 11% and 6% respectively. Unemployment and poverty declined while investment and tax collection increased.
- In contrast, the democratic governments from 2008-2012 under Zardari and initially under Sharif did not see as much economic progress according to indicators. However, Sharif's current government has made efforts to revive the economy by addressing electricity shortages and terrorism.
The document compares the economies of Pakistan and India from their founding to present day. It notes that at partition, India's economy was stronger and it was believed Pakistan would not survive economically. However, Pakistan now has the 18th largest economy by PPP and 43rd largest by GDP. India has the 6th largest economy. Both countries are taking steps to strengthen their economies through international partnerships - Pakistan with China on projects like CPEC, and India with countries like Russia, Israel, and the US. The conclusion is that both countries are struggling to build large economies through both internal development and external relationships, with Pakistan aligning more with China and India with Western allies like the EU and US.

Regulation of the approval arrangement of agriculture land trans function int...Alexander Decker
This document discusses regulation of converting agricultural land to non-agricultural land in Indonesia's era of regional autonomy. It notes that while laws exist to regulate land use, rapid conversion of farmland threatens food security as autonomy gives regional governments freedom to approve conversions. The authors aim to understand why conversions are approved and how to better control them. Research methods include analyzing statutes, concepts, and history related to regional authority and agricultural land use policy through an administrative law lens.
Access to agricultural extension services of marginalized farmersHalim Miah
This document summarizes a research paper on access to agricultural extension services for marginalized farmers in Bangladesh. It finds that while small farmers cultivate most of the country's land and drive food security, they lack access to crucial services and resources due to control by powerful local elites. The paper aims to identify gaps in existing services and policies, examine how local power dynamics hinder poor farmers, and develop advocacy strategies to make services more inclusive. It seeks to engage stakeholders to influence policy and bridge gaps at local levels to improve service delivery and accountability for marginalized groups such as women producers.

A universal model for managing the marketing executives in nigerian banksAlexander Decker
This document discusses a study that aimed to synthesize motivation theories into a universal model for managing marketing executives in Nigerian banks. The study was guided by Maslow and McGregor's theories. A sample of 303 marketing executives was used. The results showed that managers will be most effective at motivating marketing executives if they consider individual needs and create challenging but attainable goals. The emerged model suggests managers should provide job satisfaction by tailoring assignments to abilities and monitoring performance with feedback. This addresses confusion faced by Nigerian bank managers in determining effective motivation strategies.

A survey paper on sequence pattern mining with incrementalAlexander Decker
This document summarizes four algorithms for sequential pattern mining: GSP, ISM, FreeSpan, and PrefixSpan. GSP is an Apriori-based algorithm that incorporates time constraints. ISM extends SPADE to incrementally update patterns after database changes. FreeSpan uses frequent items to recursively project databases and grow subsequences. PrefixSpan also uses projection but claims to not require candidate generation. It recursively projects databases based on short prefix patterns. The document concludes by stating the goal was to find an efficient scheme for extracting sequential patterns from transactional datasets.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Abstract
Agriculture is the life line of Pakistan. It plays a major role in contribution for the GDP. Pakistan has seen a lot
of change in government policies from its advent. Agriculture is the most important economic sector of Pakistan.
In this paper it was analyzed the agricultural policies of Zia-ul-Haq and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. This comparison
was in order to critically analyze the military and civil governments for their contribution to Pakistan and its
future. This paper is a pure Qualitative research on route of exploration. In addition to exploratory, this study
also used ethnographic, explanatory, descriptive and historical methods to gain contextually grounded insights
into functioning of Pakistan’s agricultural policies. It was found that mostly the rulers of Pakistan emphasized
upon extending their rules and for this extension they used every negative means. Instead of being remembered
in the history for their high-end results and futuristic approach they controlled the masses by un-achievable
promises and vague goals. If the previous rulers would have done something good for the economy of Pakistan
after 1971, there would have been quiet a boom in the economy and the economic and energy crisis we are
facing now wouldn’t have been our fate.
Keywords: Agricultural Policies, Economic Impact, Military regimes, Civil Regimes
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
Agriculture is the mainstay of Pakistan's economy. It accounts for 21% of the GDP and together with agro-based
products fetches 80% of the country’s total export earnings.Majority of the population, directly or indirectly, is
dependent on this sector.It feeds whole rural and urban population(Program & through Parliamentary
Development, 2009). Realizing its importance, planners and policy makers are always keen to have reliable area
and production statistics of agricultural crops well in time. Policy makers primarily need accurate and timely
statistics for the important crops such as wheat, cotton, rice, sugarcane, maize etc. However, in recent years, due
to persistent hikes in the prices of essential commodities like pulses, onions, potatoes, chilies and tomatoes these
crops have also gained in economic importance.
Pakistan has seen a lot of governments from its beginning since 1947. Civil and Military rules have enjoyed
almost equal length of time in the government but as a matter of fact the Military rules enjoyed a lasting period
at an average of 10years each. On the other hand the Civil governments were usually suspended during the initial
years of their rule. The two eras we will be comparing in this article are briefly described below.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, (born Jan. 5, 1928, near Lārkāna, Sindh, India [now in Pakistan]—died April 4, 1979,
Rāwalpindi, Pak.), Pakistani statesman, president (1971–73), and prime minister (1973–77), a popular leader
who was overthrown and executed by the military(Bhutto &Panhwar, 2013). During his regime, he announced
that no single entity shall bear an agrarian land more than 100acres of canal irrigated or 200acres of barani land.
His decision in some way resulted to be futile and in other ways was applauded. There were several other
agricultural policies he introduced in his era, he believed that Pakistan should have adopted these policies years
ago. As recorded in his autobiography,
“If the Government of Pakistan had paid as much attention to agriculture in its Second Five Year Plan as it is
doing in the current Plan, the country would have become self-sufficient by now.”(Bhutto &Panhwar, 2013)
General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq (12 August 1924 – 17 August1988) was the sixth President of Pakistan from
July1977 to his death in August 1988. Distinguished by his role in the Black September in Jordan military
operation in 1970, he was appointed Chief of Army Staff in 1976.After widespread civil disorder, he overthrew
ruling Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in a bloodless coup d'état on5 July 1977 and became the state's third
ruler to impose martial law. He initially ruled as Chief Martial Law Administrator, but later installed himself as
the President of Pakistan in September 1978( Ziring, 1988).

Economic growth during the Zia-ul-Haq period was quite impressive, partly attributable to the good performance
of agriculture – in no small measure to availability of water and fertilizer - rehabilitation of private sector and the
law and order situation. Also, there was no political intervention.(Janjua, 2005)
1.2 Problem Statement
Government policies have changed from time to time. As Pakistan is an agrarian country, it needs to have special
emphasis upon this sector. Unluckily, this is one of the most ignorant sectors by the governments. Although
efforts are made to boost this specific area, but does not suffices the need of extra attention this sector requires.
Punjab is the main stakeholder in the agriculture business of Pakistan. Pakistan has one of the best irrigation
systems available to date. Even the desert areas lying with the border of India (in FortAbbas and Yazman Tehsils)
are made available for farming with the help of desert canal.
Apart from whichever form of government existed, there had been a trend of adopting policies in each rule.
Agriculture, as being the most essential part of revenue and survival of Pakistan, faced the most of the changes in
each era. Our research work is based upon the analysis of each of the above mentioned governments and
agricultural policies defined and adopted in their era.
1.3 Hypothesis
Ho: Change of national government has no effect on agricultural development.
1.4 Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this exploratory cum analytical study is to pitch light the difference in agricultural policies during
military and civil governments in Pakistan. It is a comparative study of the military and civil policies used in the
agriculture of Pakistan and their impact on it.
1.5Limitations of the Study
It will be going through a brief study of that era. As a matter of fact this is a term paper no a regular thesis.
Moreover, this task is time consuming and involves a lot of money for surveys, interviews from old people living
in all over Pakistan and searching government archives available in distinct cities.
2. Literature review
Financial requirements of the farming sector have increased tremendously over the last few decades due to
theextended use of fertilizers, biocides, improved seeds, mechanization etc. In order to provide the agriculture
sector with loans and benefits the government in Pakistan has to declare it as an industry. Unfortunately none of
the governments till date has done so. Even till the recent years, ZaraiTaraqiati Bank was the only one which
provided agricultural loans(Hanif, Khan, &Nauman, 2004)(Zaidi & Saeed, 2013).
Although few of governments provided with tractor schemes, but were ill fashioned and yet the tractors were
provided on loan in against of a property equivalent to ten times the price of the tractor. Yet these schemes never
benefited the poor and small scale farmers(Hanif, Khan, &Nauman, 2004).
The hierarchies of agriculture, from seeds to selling of good, have no proper framework allotted by the
government. There is no proper body to control the adultery of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. Certified seeds
are not available in the required quantity to suffice the need of a farmer. The costing of fertilizers as well as
pesticides is on the free will of the companies producing it. In the absence of a single body comprising of
farmers and companies producing their products i.e. fertilizers and pesticides; farmer’s consent is absent in the
making of product as well as costing. These multinational companies even add their miscellaneous and
employees expenses in the cost of their products. Moreover, there is no central point for agricultural produce.
Subsidies by the government are not available on any agricultural products. Although the government has
provided this sector with electric tube wells but the farmer now has to pay the hefty electric bills as well as the
“Abiana” (a rent for the usage of canal water). Abiana wavier is a cumbersome process yet no landlord can get it
exempted.
During the period of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto as the Prime Minister, a number of land reforms were also introduced.
The important land reforms included the reduction of land ceilings and introducing the security of tenancy to
tenant farmers. The land ceiling was fixed to 150 acres (0.61 km2) of irrigated land and 300 acres (1.2 km2) of
non-irrigated land. Another step that Bhutto took was to democratise Pakistan's Civil Service. In Baluchistan, the
pernicious practice of Shishak and Sardari System was abolished. In 1976, the Bhutto government carried out the
establishment of Federal Flood Commission (FFC), and was tasked to prepare national flood protection plans,
and flood forecasting and research to harness floodwater. Bhutto later went onto to upgrade numbers of dams
and barrages built in Sind province(Bhutto &Panhwar, 2013).
Bhutto was a strong advocate of empowering small farmers, when Bhutto argued that if farmers were weak and
demoralized then Pakistan's agricultural strength would fragile, believing that farmers would not feel
psychologically safe unless the country achieved self-sufficiency in food. Therefore, the Bhutto government
launched the programs to make put the country on road self-sufficient in ricing, sugar-milling, wheat husking,
industries. Bhutto government intensified the control of ricing, sugar-mills and wheat husking factories with
initially believing that public sector involvement would reduce the influence of mega-corporations transforming

into big monopoly sphere. The Government initiated .schemes for combating water logging and salinity. The
huge tax exceptions were also introduced for small landowners to encourage the growth of agriculture. His
nationalization of Sindh based industries heavily benefited the poor mass, but badly upsets the influential feudal
lords and most notables were PirPagara, although, the Sindhi feudal class were leftists as Bhutto but later allied
with secular forces after Bhutto initiated more reforms for poor mass.
The economic policy performance of the Zia period was much better than that of the Bhutto period ( Ziring,
1988). The point, however, is that the long period of political stability and sustained growth under Zia offered
opportunities for tackling the difficult underlying structural issues, which were not exploited. For instance, the
opportunities for raising national savings and improving the balance of payments offered by the huge worker
remittances and rapidly expanding economy were not seized. Instead, the government launched another round of
large increases in defense spending and pre-empted an important part of private savings through large-scale non-
bank borrowing. The relative roles of state and private sector in development were left to be decided largely on
the basis of inertia. Weaknesses of the direct taxation collection machinery, a fundamental cause of continued
heavy reliance on indirect taxation, were not addressed even though martial law extended over a period of eight
and a half years. The policy-makers did not learn from the mistakes of the 1960s, such as the overemphasis on
growth, the neglect of the social sector, and lack of adequate attention to structural change in agriculture and
large-scale industry
3. Methodology
3.1 Research Method
This research followed a qualitative research design. This will primarily be an exploratory study to provide
relevant insight as well as understanding. Although further on the analysis will also take a more explanatory
route due to the nature of the topic. Furthermore, explanatory, ethnographic, descriptive and historical methods
of qualitative research were also used in this study.
Descriptive research was carried out in order to describe systematically the problem. Moreover, explanatory and
exploratory methods were used to explore a specific area/ era to investigate the possible scenario and happening
of that time. This research for specifically targeted to Pakistan and its population only. It covers some aspect of
past in pursuance of knowledge gathered by historians and autobiography.
The research methodology implies qualitative methods to gain contextually grounded insights into functioning of
Pakistan’s agricultural policies during both forms of governments.
3.2 Data Processing & collection Procedure
Agricultural policies will be analyzed in this research. Also the agricultural output during 197-1989 will be
analyzed so that a relation can be made for any cause and effect which is seen. We used following ways of data
collection.
o Government Documents
o Government Websites
o Autobiography
o Documentaries , Video Records and media reports
4. Results and Findings
4.1 Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s Agricultural Policies
The late Mr.Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, after assuming power in December, 1971, introduced land reforms on March 1,
1972. These were not confined merely to reduction of size of ownership holdings but had many other agrarian
reform features. The salient features of the land reforms were as under:
1. The ceiling on land ownership was reduced to 150 acres in the case of irrigated land, 300 acres in the case of
unirrigated land or 12,000 produce index units whichever was larger. Owners with tractors or tube wells were
allowed to keep additional 2,000 produce index units (PIU's).
2. The area under ''Stud and Livestock'' farms was resumed free from any charge whatsoever.
3. The area shikargahs except historical shikargahs was resumed by the state for distribution among the peasants.
4. The land acquired by the state was distributed to the landless tenants free of charge.
5. In case of economic or above holdings, further sub-division by alienation or partition was prohibited if the
resultant holding would be less than economic land.
6. Similarly in case of subsistence or above holdings, further sub-division was not allowed if it resulted in less
than subsistence holding.
7. Restrictions were placed on the ejectments of tenants by the landlords. A tenant could only be ejected if he
failed to pay rent or used the land in a manner which made it unfit for the purpose he got the land or sublet his
tenancy.
8. In 1975, the Government gave revenue concessions to small land-owners holding up to 12 acres of irrigated
land or 25 acres of n0n-irrigated land. These cultivators were exempted from payment of land revenue land rates,

development cases with effect from rabi crop of 1975-76.
9. On December 18, 1976, the Government declared that the tenants and the tillers of soil having less than
subsistence holdings will be given cultivable and cultivable waste state land. It was also announced that all
occupancy tenants of state land were declared the owners of the land.
10. On January 5, 1977, the Government announced a further reduction in the ceiling of land ownership. The
individual land holding was reduced to 100 acres of irrigated or 200 acres of non-irrigated land equivalent to
8,000 PIUs whichever was more. These reforms also had some agrarian features such as abolition of land
revenue on holdings of 25 acres or less and imposition of agricultural income tax on large land-owners.
Under the land reforms of 1972. A total of 1.3 million acres was resumed. Out of this .9 million acres were
distributed to the farmers. The land reforms of 1972 were not effective as the landlords had distributed most of
their fertile land among the relatives, friends and even to tenants. (Abbas, 2013)
4.2 New land reforms of 1971 by Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
1. Land in excess of prescribed ceilings was resumed without compensation.
2. Payment of land revenue cusses water rate taxes surcharges levies on land and provision of seed was made
the responsibility of the owners.
3. Cost of pesticides and fertilizers was to be shared equally between the tenants and the owners.
4. The tenant was given the first right of pre-emption in respect of sale of land under his tenancy.
5. Owners were forbidden to levy cusses on tenants or take free labor from them.
6. Contravention of these regulations was made punishable by rigorous imprisonment extending up to 7 years
and confiscation of immovable property in case false declarations were made. (Zahoor, 2011)
4.3Claimed benefits of land reforms
1. The total land resumed as % of cultivated land was only 0.4 in 1977 and 2.6 in the land reform of 1972
against 6.2% of the land reform of 1959. The actual steal surrender of land was small.
2. The occupancy tenant cultivators, though small in number, got the right of ownership of land. They, being
the owners, now take greater interest in raising the yield per hectare.
3. The tenants have been saved from the exploitation of big landlords. They cannot be ejected at the sweet will
of the owners of the land.
4. The area declared as excess by the landlords was distributed among the landless peasant. The economic
position of these tenants has improved.
5. As the ceilings were fixed on the size of economic holdings and subsistence holdings, the chances of further
fragmentation of land have been eliminated.
6. The landlords greatly lost their traditional superiority. They do not wield as much political power as they
had before the agrarian reforms.
7. The land reforms have helped in increasing the middle income group. This group is more conscious of its
duties and obligations to the fellow citizens and the state.
8. The consolidation of holding has made it possible to use the modern inputs more. The income of the small
farmers has increased.
9. The landlords with decreased area of land have started taking interest in improving the agricultural
production. They are using modern agricultural technology which has greatly increased the yield per hectare.
10. The increase in the income of the small farmers has increased the demeaned for various manufactured
goods. The market for the industrial goods has thus widened.
11. As the tenants have now greater security of income in the villages, the large scale migration of labor from
agriculture to industry has declined. (Shafqat, 1988)
4.4Zia-ul-Haq’s Agricultural Policies
Rapid growth, widespread prosperity, and relatively stable prices made the Zia period appear to be an era of
exceptional political and economic stability in Pakistan’s history. Like Ayub, Zia relied heavily on the
bureaucracy for economic management, and under the able guidance of Mr. Ghulam Ishaq Khan the bureaucrats
did a fair job of short-term economic management partly under pressure from international financial institutions
which provided critical balance of payments support in the early and mid-1980s. The flexible exchange rate
policy strengthened export incentives and improved the climate for private investment. The initial reduction in
budget deficits, through additional taxation and efforts after 1980, to reduce subsidies and to bring agricultural
prices in line with international prices helped economic growth and moderated the inflationary pressures. That
high economic growth was partly a matter of luck and reflected the influence of exogenous economic
developments, notably the boom in worker remittances, does not detract from the steady and more or less
consistent day to day management of economic policies during the 1980s. ( Ziring, 1988)
However, major structural weaknesses remained in the economy and indeed were intensified in some instances.
Even though medium-term economic planning was revived in 1978, long-term policy issues were either not
pursued with any seriousness or suffered due to poor implementation. A major criticism was the growth in public

spending from 23.5 per cent of GDP in 1976-7 to 27 percent in 1987-8. Government expenditures adjusted for
inflation increased nearly 150 per cent during 1977-88. Since revenue growth was slow, the budget deficits had
risen to an unsustainable level of over 8 per cent of GDP in the final years of the Zia regime – essentially
mortgaging future production and price stability. (Zahid, 2011)
Finally, the two major policy problems inherited from the 1960s and the 1970s — the inelasticity of the tax
system and the strong anti-export bias of the trade.
The economic policy performance of the Zia period was much better than that of the Bhutto period. The point,
however, is that the long period of political stability and sustained growth under Zia offered opportunities for
tackling the difficult underlying structural issues, which were not exploited. For instance, the opportunities for
raising national savings and improving the balance of payments offered by the huge worker remittances and
rapidly expanding economy were not seized. Instead, the government launched another round of large increases
in defense spending and pre-empted an important part of private savings through large-scale non-bank borrowing.
The relative roles of state and private sector in development were left to be decided largely on the basis of inertia.
Weaknesses of the direct taxation collection machinery, a fundamental cause of continued heavy reliance on
indirect taxation, were not addressed even though martial law extended over a period of eight and a half years.
The policy-makers did not learn from the mistakes of the 1960s, such as the overemphasis on growth, the neglect
of the social sector, and lack of adequate attention to structural change in agriculture and large-scale industry.
They were also slow to gain from the experience of East Asian countries where an ‘economic miracle’ had been
unfolding. (Hanif, Khan, &Nauman, 2004)
Just as much of the credit for the relatively good short-term economic management must be given to Ghulam
Ishaq, a good deal of the responsibility for the missed opportunities in economic policy and neglect of structural
issues must rest on him because he was clearly in charge of country’s finances and economic apparatus during
1978-85. Ishaq, a strong and able economic manager, had, however, a public sector bias which dated from his
days (1961-5) as the successful chairman of WAPDA in West Pakistan. His mistrust of the private sector was
probably a factor in his acceptance of the Bhutto nationalization as fait accomplish. Bureaucracy as a whole also
quickly came to appreciate the power and the privileges, which an extended public sector afforded it. Zia’s early
attempt to involve pro-private sector individuals in decision-making was successfully undercut by Ishaq.
Similarly, like many other economic managers in Pakistan, Ishaq was not totally convinced about the advantages
of a strategy of labor-intensive manufactured export growth based on imported raw materials. Ishaq did make
major efforts after 1978 at re-imposing financial discipline and mobilizing additional resources but was much
less successful in improving the efficiency of the tax system.
However, during the Bhutto regime sizeable public investment took place in mega Public Sector Projects. Thus,
if during 1974-75 the budget deficit was 10.6% of the GDP, the public sector program was over 10.2% of the
GDP. Economic benefits of these heavy investments were largely reaped by the Zia-ul-Haq regime.
Economic growth during the Zia-ul-Haq period was quite impressive, partly attributable to the good performance
of agriculture – in no small measure to availability of water and fertilizer - rehabilitation of private sector and the
law and order situation. Also, there was no political intervention and economic management was essentially in
the hands of experienced bureaucrats. (Janjua, 2005)
5.0 Conclusion
Pakistani’s central and southern part is situated in semi-arid or arid zone respectively. There is a very little or no
rain throughout the year and cultivation of crops is purely dependent upon canal irrigation system. Prior to 1969
the canals were dependent on run of the river waters. During the dry months, from March to May and October to
December, there was always shortage of irrigation waters in canals, resulting with less area under cultivation.
Moreover, the crops were sown late and irrigation water was not available for last watering of crops, badly
affecting affecting the crops yield.
In 1969, Mangla Dam (1961-1969) started to provide the additional irrigation waters sufficing the need in the
dry months too. Apart from water problems, Mangla Dam also started providing cheap hydro electric power.
However, the regime of General Yahya Khan didn’t take advantage of these additional irrigational waters and
cheap electricity to introduce land reforms either due to turmoil of 1970 or lack of will and vision in this regard.
The visionary man who took full advantage of above stated additional resources was Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto by
introducing the 1972 land reforms. Fortunately in 1974, Tarbela Dam (1968-1974) was also completed and had
started providing additional irrigational waters and electricity in 1976. Hence another golden opportunity was
available for the Government, to introduce another round of land reforms in 1977.
If critically analyzed, both land reforms had no significant impact on crop yields because the land resumed
through land reforms, was distributed among the land less tenants who had no resource to bring the un-
developed or barren land under plough. As a result, the total cropped area didn’t increased significantly.
Secondly the influential landlords with the help of land revenue officers, managed to transfer their above ceiling
lands in name of their own family members, relatives and obedient servants. Interestingly in many cases the land

was transformed in the name of newly born babies and in few cases, to be born babies. . Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
himself failed to implement the land reforms on his own “Jagir” (consisting of hundreds of acres of agricultural
land) in Naudero, Larkana. It reflects that the said land reforms were politically motivated, rather than with real
sincerity to bring the real green revolution in agriculture.
Contrary to the previous land reforms of 1959, no compensation was given to owners for surrendered
lands. All resumed land was to go to the tiller who was not to pay a paisa for it. The land owners surrendered
undeveloped or less developed lands whereas the tillers desired to get the land they were already cultivating.
This pitted the peasants versus land owners.
Distribution of undeveloped or barani/ rainy lands to landless peasants never yield any fruit until and unless
adequate funds/resources are not made available. ZaraiTaraqiati Bank (Agricultural Development Bank),
established in 1961, was the lone source to obtain agro-based loans. To get an agro loan, the land owner is
required to get agro-pass book from Patwari / Tapedar (lowest revenue officer) and then get the loan in shape of
cheque in the name of dealer/distributor of fertilizer, pesticide and Tractor. This is uphill task and impossible
without payment of handsome amount in the name of commission to the Tapedar/ Patwari. The agro loans are
provided on higher interest rates than commercial bank provides to the industrialists, importers and exporters,
after pledging his agree land with the bank. Generally, a loan provided by a commercial bank is equivalent to
60% more of assessed value of the property pledged by the industrialists/ traders. Contrary to that (ADBP)
Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan provided loans for tractors (costing 8 lacs) by pledging at least 12
acres of land (each acre costing at an average of 12-15 lacs). Hence for an agro loan of less than one million for
tractor, a farmer had to pledge agricultural property of around 10-12 millions. Till recent, the ADBP was the
only source for providing agro-based loans.
The National Identity Cards (NIC) was introduced in 1973, and Mr. Z. A Bhutto Government liberalized the
issuance of Passport to enable the common Pakistanis to work abroad. With the boom in oil prices, common
Pakistanis rushed to Middle Eastern countries in 1974 and onwards. They remitted huge amounts to their native
places which were ultimately along with other uses, were utilized for development of agricultural sector as well.
The remittances fulfilled the gap of shortage of funds in agricultural sector. Besides providing remittance/funds,
the returnees also brought back the modern techniques i.e. tunnel farming, drip irrigation and Green house
farming techniques which brought a green revolution later on.
During the Bhutto regime sizeable public investment took place in mega Public Sector Projects. Thus, if during
1974-75 the budget deficit was 10.6% of the GDP, the public sector program was over 10.2% of the GDP.
Economic benefits of these heavy investments were largely reaped by the Zia-ul-Haq regime.
Economic growth during the Zia-ul-Haq period was quite impressive, partly attributable to the good performance
of agriculture – in no small measure to availability of water and fertilizer - rehabilitation of private sector and the
law and order situation. Also, there was no political intervention and economic management was essentially in
the hands of experienced bureaucrats.
Unfortunately, neither Z.A Bhutto Government nor Zia-ul-Haq regime paid any attention to depleting water
reservoir due to accumulating silt in both dams and no dam was constructed during their era. At present Pak
agriculture sector is vulnerable because of non-availability of irrigation water and electricity for tube wells.
Although there was no development in agriculture in both eras, administrative changes were stronger in Zia-ul-
Haq’s tenure as compare to Bhutto’s era and Bhutto’s era saw a lot of reforms based on agriculture and other
developments but the generic hypothesis in this research is accepted that Change of national government during
1971-1989 had no effect on agricultural development.
