This document discusses the agricultural sector of Pakistan's economy. It notes that agriculture contributed 61% of GDP in 2009-10, with major crops including wheat, rice, maize, cotton, and sugarcane. The document outlines factors that have affected agricultural growth rates such as small land holdings, lack of technology adoption, unreliable rainfall, and insufficient financing. It also lists issues facing Pakistan's agriculture such as water scarcity, soil degradation, and low crop yields. The document advocates for solutions like hybrid seeds, mechanization, improved irrigation, and expanded agricultural research and credit to increase agricultural production.

9. Agricultural Sector of Pakistan
 Total area 79.6 million hectares
 Population depends 70%
 Labor force employment44%
 Share in GDP 26%
 Total cultivated land area 22 million hectares
 Total exports 80%

10. Agriculture Contribution to
GDP(%)
Description 2009/10
Major crops 40.64
Minor crops 15.90
Livestock 38.85
Fisheries 3.48
Forestry 1.13

11. General factors
1.Overcrowding in agriculture
 65% of population depends on agriculture
 Area of cultivated land per cultivator declined
 Small size of holding, modern techniques could
not be applied.

12. 2. Socio-economic factors
 Farmers conservative outlook
 Illiterate
 Superstitions
 Reluctant to adopt modern
technology.

13. 3. Natural factors
 Agriculture is the gamble of rain
 Timely rain
 If no rain, pests attack

14. 4. Lack of adequate finance
 ZTBL, Cooperative banks loan facilities are
not adequate
 Hence farmers depend on alternate sources.

15. Technological factors
 High ratio of labour to land
 Under utilization of cultivable land
 Lack of mechanization
 Inadequate supply of inputs
 Poor extension service
 Lack of infrastructure facilities
 Problem of land reforms

16. Major Agricultural issues
 Scarcity of moisture/rainfall.
 High temperature.
 Soil erosion.
 water logging.
 Low soil fertility.
 Poor quality of under-ground water.
 Low yielding crop varieties and range
management.

17. How to increase agricultural
production
 Hybrid (high yield) seeds
 Batter quality of seed
 Mechanization
 Chemical technology
 Hydrological technology
 Mechanical technology
 Research and development
 Timely water supply
 Agriculture credit
