Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the economy and development of
Pakistan providing food to consumers, raw materials to industries,
and a market for industrial goods. Unfortunately, agricultural
production is stagnant due to several barriers including a fixed
cropping pattern, reliance on a few major crops, a narrow genetic
pool, poor seed quality, and a changing climate. In addition, the
high cost of production, weak phytosanitary compliance mechanisms,
and a lack of cold chain facilities makes Pakistan agriculturally
uncompetitive in export markets. Despite all these issues,
agriculture is the primary industry in Pakistan and small farmers
continue to dominate the business. Small farmers grow crops for
subsistence under a fixed cropping pattern and a holistic approach
is required to develop agriculture to improve the livelihoods of
the rural populace. This book presents an exhaustive look at
agriculture in Pakistan. Chapters provide critical analyses of
present trends, inadequacies in agriculture, strategic planning,
improvement programs and policies while keeping in view the natural
resources, plant- and animal-related agricultural production
technologies, input supplies, population planning, migration and
poverty, and balanced policies on finance, credit, marketing, and
trade.
