Global precision agriculture market analysis & forecast (2014 2022)BIS Research
Precision Farming is an area of farming techniques associated with management of variability of soil, nutrients, water, crop and environmental factors. In conventional agriculture practices, fields subject to farming are considered to be uniform and thus applied with uniform rates of agrochemicals and fertilizers. The world population is estimated to hit the 9 billion mark by the year 2050. With per capita arable land decreasing by the day due to rapidly increasing population, efficient agricultural techniques are the need of the hour. Precision Agriculture presents significant potential in enhancing food productivity while at the same time providing sustainable management of resources. The global precision farming market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.09% from 2015 to 2022, to reach over $6.43 billion by 2022.

Integrating Rural Urban Linkages for Regional Development in the Province of Sind: A Cluster Based Approach by Dr. Noman Saeed, Applied Economics Research Centre, University of Karachi
1. Integrating Rural Urban Linkages
for Regional Development in the
Province of Sind:
A Cluster Based Approach
by
Noman Saeed
Applied Economics Research Centre, University of Karachi
2. Outline of the presentation
• Objectives of the study
• Redefinition of scope of work
• Conclusions from a Review of the literature and
lessons learnt
• Methodology
• Sample Selection
• Design of Quantitative survey
• List of Expert interviews for the Qualitative analysis
• Questions for the Qualitative interviews
3. Rationale
It has been recognized that rural urban linkages can play an
important role in the economic development of countries and
regions.
Many countries are now following different development
policies. The dichotomous rural vs urban approach has been
replaced by an integrated development approach which is
based on development of secondary cities small cities and
towns and rural areas.
The focus of such policies has been to reinforce the backward
and forward linkages between agricultural production,
industry and services to strengthen local and regional
economies.
4. Objectives of the Study
• Undertake a review of the literature and identify best practice
and policies for development of regions in other countries
and explore their relevance to Pakistan and Sindh;
• Identify the reasons for growth of the cluster in terms of its
economic structure and of competitiveness;
• Identify the types of rural urban linkages that exist in the
cluster and suggest ways these can be integrated;
• Assess how the public sector can contribute to the overall
growth of the clusters and Identify areas of public policy
interventions for growth and development of the cluster;
5. Redefined scope of work
The study was to be originally undertaken in 3
different clusters of the province but after the
revision of the budget the Northern cluster is
selected for analysis.

10. Literature- definition of rural-
urban linkages
“Rural-Urban linkages” refers to the flow of
(public and private) capital, people (migration,
commuting) and goods (trade) between rural
and urban areas- added to these economic
flows are ideas, innovation and information.
11. Review of Literature
Literature covers demographic, economic, and political
aspects of rural- urban linkages
• Many studies analyze the migration of people from the rural
areas to the urban areas (and back) and the flow of goods,
ideas and money that occurs in the opposite direction as
result of the migration.
• A second category of studies deals with economic links
between rural and urban areas, the extent to which economic
development in the one area benefits or obstructs economic
development in the other area, and the policy measures
necessary to develop a mutually beneficial relationship.
• A third category of studies deals with the political aspect of
rural-urban linkages and the imbalance of power between the
two areas.
12. Some conclusions from the
Literature
• Rural areas that are poorly connected to
urban areas lack the capacity to compete in
the regional, national, and international
markets and are less developed. They lack
proper information and signals to produce,
invest, raise productivity, diversify production,
and engage in new activities.
13. Conclusions from literature
• Small towns also suffer from weak financial
base for physical, economic and social
development. Without specific industrial
linkages to agriculture, they tend to have
limited production and manufacturing
activities, which constrain employment and
income generation options.
14. Lessons Learnt from literature
• Develop public infrastructure and services in the rural and
urban areas since this will impact on the movements of goods
and people.
• Strengthen institutional framework and capacities of local
Governments
• Improve financial and information flows
• Create business networks for local and regional economic
development
15. Methodology
• Ideally rural urban linkages can be analyzed using more
sophisticated approaches e.g input output models or value
chain analysis for goods flow that determine the direct and
indirect effects of such relationships
• Here a case study approach will be used with the target
population in the selected cluster
• A sample will be drawn from the large cities secondary cities
and rural areas to determine the nature of such linkages in
Sindh
• Fact finding instruments used in the study will include
secondary data, questionnaires, and expert interviews
