Rice is a major industry and export in Pakistan. It is the 4th largest rice producer globally and rice exports earn 13% of Pakistan's foreign exchange. Punjab and Sindh are the top rice producing provinces. While production has increased in recent years, post-harvest losses remain high. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor aims to boost trade and investment, including for the rice sector, by improving infrastructure connectivity between the countries. To further develop the rice industry, Pakistan needs strategies like increasing exports, expanding production capacity, improving quality control and attracting more foreign investment.

3.  Pakistan has done fairly well economically since her independence
(1947) more than six decades ago.
 Pakistan's principal natural resources are arable land and water. About
25% of Pakistan's agriculture accounts for about 21% of GDP and
employs about 43% of the labor force.
 Pakistan continues its modest growth recovery. “Growth rate in 2017 is
expected to rise to 4.8 percent” the World Bank says.

19. SWOT Analysis

20. Strengths
 Strong comparative advantage due to
soil endowment, climate and irrigation
network.
 Strong labor force for processing and
production.
Weaknesses
 Post-harvest losses are high in Pakistan
up to 30%.
 Lack of R&D culture and facilities in
industrial sector.
Opportunities
 Increasing world population and
growing global prosperity fueling the
demand.
 Enhancing the trade by providing
excellent quality of products with
acceptable standards.
Threats
 Pakistan’s image as an exporter of low
quality, low prices of selected goods
and services, restricting the demand.
 Law and order/security situation
discouraging the importers to visit
Pakistan or participate in our trade
exhibitions.

21. Problem
How to increase the foreign exchange earnings of Pakistan by
increasing the volume and range of exporting high quality goods
and services in the face of increasing competition in a rapidly
globalizing world?

22. Strategy
 Increasing Exportable Surplus
 Capacity Utilization
 Capacity Expansion
 Productivity Growth
 Enforcing Quality Control
 Encouraging Private Public Partnership
 Reducing Transaction Costs
 Attracting Foreign Investment

23. CPEC

24.  The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor inaugurated at 6 Nov
2016, aimed to facilitate trade along an overland route that
connects Kashgar and Gwadar through construction of
network of highways, railways, and pipelines worth nearly
$51 billion.
 Officials predict that the project will result in the creation of
upwards of 700,000 direct jobs between 2015–2030, and add
2% - 2.5% points to the country's annual economic growth.
 The value of those projects would be equal to all foreign direct
investment in Pakistan since 1970 and would be equivalent to
17% of Pakistan's 2015 gross domestic product.

25. Conclusion
 Massive strides made by Pakistan in the field of Agriculture
development during six decades of existence, which should be needed to
be develop further more.
 Pakistan will have to expand her production base, diversify it on need
basis and craft an aggressive long term export strategy.
 Pakistan also need to rationalize her economic policies, making
concerted efforts to enhance our exports, finding new markets and
encouraging value addition to our exportable items.
