4. Overview of Agriculture in Pakistan
As per Economic Survey of Pakistan
(ESP 2015-16), out of total
contribution of agriculture to the GDP
major crops contribute 4.67 percent
to the GDP, other crops 2.25 percent,
livestock 11.61 percent, fisheries 0.43
percent and forestry 0.41 percent
each.

5. Overview of Agriculture
 And when Pakistan is
compared with the rest of
the world on the basis of
agriculture sector, the
country ranks 9th in wheat
production, 11th in rice
production with an edge of
having aromatic long grain
basmati, 4th in cotton
production, and 14th in
sugarcane with comparative
advantage in mango, citrus
and dates. Similarly, in
livestock it is 2nd in buffalo’s
population, 13th in cattle,
and 9th in sheep and 3rd in
goat while in milk production
Pakistan’s standing is at 4th
place in the world.

43. Call Center ( ‫کال‬‫سینٹر‬ )
 A call center will be established to
cater to the farmers’ requirements
and their connectivity with the
experts through the local extension
agents. Soil sampling will also be a
main component of this project for
soil health diagnostics. The presence
of the extension service will be
increased through newspapers,
primetime on television and social
media including Facebook and
Twitter while we are also reaching
farmers through SMS, robocall, and
call centers. In fact, 5 million
farmers will soon have access to the
latest technology techniques, farm
experts and easy financing through
smartphones. The program has
already been rolled out.

44. Irrigation Technology ( ‫پاشی‬ ‫آب‬‫ٹیکنالوجی‬ )
 In some cases, flood irrigation
is a soil requirement so it’s not
wastage as commonly
perceived. The KPK government
is working on efficient
management of irrigation
supplies through drip and
sprinkler irrigation
technologies, laser leveling and
bed and furrow techniques.
 The share of subsidy is also very
high. Moreover, irrigation
agronomy has improved a lot.
 Latest moisture meters are
being tested to improve water
efficiency besides, promotion
of ridge and bed planting and
use of laser levelers.

Today, drone technology is
becoming an essential piece of
farm equipment. Farmers around
the world have actually started
using drones to get a bird’s-eye
view of their fields and to
monitor the condition of their
crops. Pakistanis are already
familiar with drones and their
uses, but now with this
technology, it will be used for
helping farming community and
policy makers to estimate crop
size and pest warning activities.
Scientists in University of
Agriculture Faisalabad are
working on it to economize the
use of fertilizer and pesticides
throughout the fields

47. Information and communication technology (ICT)
in agriculture ( ‫میں‬ ‫زراعت‬ ‫اور‬ ‫انفارمیشن‬
‫ٹیکنالوجی‬ ‫کمیونیکیشن‬(‫ٹی‬ ‫سی‬ ‫آئی‬) )
 Today technology in agriculture is
being developed and applied in
innovative ways with a primary focus
to assist the farmer in enhancing its
production. Information and
communication technologies (ICT) in
agriculture offers a wide range of
solutions to agricultural challenges.
It is seen as an emerging field
focusing on the enhancement of
agricultural and rural development
through improved information and
communication processes. In this
context, ICT is used as an umbrella
term encompassing all information
and communication technologies
including devices, networks,
mobiles, services and applications;
these range from innovative
Internet-era technologies and sensors
to other pre-existing aids such as
fixed telephones, televisions, radios
and satellites.

48. Agriculture Mechanization
( ‫زرعی‬‫مشینری‬ )
 Mechanization is on the
rise as it not only saves
time of the grower but
labor too and prepares
land in a very befitting
manner for the next
crop or harvest any crop
without higher wastage
ratio.
