Agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan's economy, providing employment and contributing 24% to GDP. However, Pakistan's agricultural sector faces many problems including a feudal land ownership system, underutilization of land and labor, lack of irrigation infrastructure, illiterate farmers, inadequate research and supplies. The government is taking steps to address these issues through consolidating land holdings, increasing credit access, improving irrigation, promoting mechanization and education.
