Agriculture Sector• It is the primary sector of state’s economy making

direct use of natural resources. – “Agriculture is basically the science or practice of farming,

including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products”.

Page 4: Agriculture sector of pakistan

John Salazar (former US Commissioner of agriculture department) said;

– “There is only one thing that can bring our nation down_our dependence on foreign countries for food and energy. Agriculture is the backbone of our economy”.

• So, Agriculture is Primary sector of economy.

Page 5: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Agriculture Sector in Pakistan:

• Pakistan has a rich and vast natural resource base, covering various ecological and climatic zones; hence the country has great potential for producing all types of food. Agriculture sector of Pakistan is the major contributor to her economy and is wide-spread all over the country.

Page 6: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Agri……• Agricultural sector contributes about 24% to GDP. • The total geographical area of Pakistan is 79.6 million hectares;

– About 27% of the area is currently under cultivation. Of this area, 80% is irrigated.

– The cultivable waste lands offering good possibilities of crop production amount to 8.9 million hectares.

• Growth in cropped area (since 1947 to last decade):– from 11.6 million hectares to 22.6 million hectares.

• is measured as the ratio of agricultural outputs to agricultural inputs

• output is usually measured as the market value of final output

• This output value may be compared to many different types of inputs such as labour and land (yield).

• These are called partial measures of productivity

Page 14: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Agricultural Productivity• Agricultural productivity may also be measured by what is

termed total factor productivity (TFP).

• This method of calculating agricultural productivity compares

• an index of agricultural inputs to an index of outputs.

wheat output stood at 23.52 million tons and it contributed 14.4% to value added in agriculture in 20012-13

Page 17: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Rice

• Rice is the 2nd largest food crop in Pakistan.

• It is now a major export item • accounting for 6.1% of total export • earnings over the last five years and contributes1.2% to GDP.

Page 18: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Gram Gram is an important source• of vegetable protein and play an • important role in the diet. • It is grown both as rabi and kharif crops.

• The total area under gram was 1073 thousand hectares in 2012-13. The total production was 842 thousand tones in 2012-13.

Agricultural Imports• “The word "import" is derived from the word "port," since goods are often

shipped via boat to foreign countries. Countries are most likely to import goods that domestic industries cannot produce as efficiently or cheaply, but may also import raw materials or commodities that are not available within its borders. For example tea, wheat, Edible oil and fertilizers.”

Page 24: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Imports….• Pakistan has imported 2.2 million tons edible oil in the

calendar year ended December 31, 2013 from Malaysia and Indonesia according to an official of Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC)

• The tea imports decrease of 26.57 percent. The tea imports during July-November (2013-14) were recorded at $108.476 million according to Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS).

2009-10 Pakistan exported agriculture products worth Rs 288.18 billion.

• Rs 20 billions fruits

• Rs 1.15 billions tobacco/tobacco products

• Rs 180 billions rice

• Rs 10 billions vegetables

• Rs 10 billions livestock and meat products

• R 13.78 billions oilseeds/nuts

• Rs 32 billions other agri products

Page 28: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Economic Importance The importance of agriculture to the economy is seen in three

ways:• It provides food to consumers and fibers for domestic

industry.• It is a source of scarce foreign exchange earnings• It provides a market for industrial goods.

Page 29: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Imp…..

• Agriculture contributes about 24% of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs 47% of the national employed labor force.

• The contribution of the agricultural sector to the GDP has declined gradually since Pakistan came into existence, from over 50% in 1949-50 to about 24% (currently).

Page 30: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Foreign Trade• In foreign trade, agriculture again dominates through exports

of raw products such as rice and cotton and semi-processed and processed products such as cotton yarn, cloth, carpets and leather production.

• Of the total export earnings, the share of primary commodities and processed and semi-processed products constituted almost 60% of the total exports.

Page 31: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Eco. Imp…..• The average annual growth rates in the agricultural sector

during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s were 5.07, 2.37 and 5.4% respectively.

• With the announcement of a new agriculture package by the government, the growth rate is improved to 5.9%.

Page 33: Agriculture sector of pakistan

In short…….!The agricultural sector plays an important part in Pakistan's

economy by:• Contributing 24% towards GDP.

• Providing food to about 130 million people.

• Earning about 60% of the country's total export earnings.

• providing employment to 47% of the total work force.

• Providing the main source of livelihood for the rural population of Pakistan.

• Providing raw materials for many industries and a market for many locally

produced industrial products.

Page 34: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Rainfall• About 68% of the geographical area has annual rainfall of 250

mm.• About 24% has annual rainfall of 251 to 500 mm. • Only 8% of the geographical area has annual rainfall

exceeding 500 mm.

Page 35: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Irrigation system in Pakistan• Irrigation is an artificial application of water to the Soil. • Assistance in the growing of agricultural crops, maintenance

of landscapes, and for revegetation.• Also used for dust suppressions, disposal of sewage, and

in mining.• Often studied together with drainage.

Page 36: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Dams in Pak.• Warsak Dam • Khanpur Dam • Tarbela Dam • Mangla Dam

Page 41: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Irrigation Methods used in Pakistan

• Lift System• Karez• Rod-Kohi Irrigation• Canals

Page 42: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Lift System• It is an old system practiced in Pakistan.• Procedure:

– Water is lifted by hands in a bucket attached to a rope.– It involved a considerable labor and, therefore, only a small area could

be irrigated.

– It is an earlier method of irrigation.

Page 43: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Karez • It is confined to the province of Baluchistan.• It is used in the valleys of Quetta, Pashin, Mastung and some

areas of Mekran.• This system is also used in Iran with name of Qanat and in

adjoining Arab countries as ‘Fogarra’.

Page 44: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Rod-Kohi Irrigation• It is runoff irrigation system being practiced in Pakistan.• Traditional flood or spate irrigation schemes have been

constructed and operated in Pakistan by farming communities for hundreds of years.

Page 45: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Canals • Canals are the most popular means of irrigation.• Canals perform there functions including the distribution of

flood water, linking of eastern and western rivers and permanent supply of water for irrigation.

• The canal irrigation is carried out with the help of dams and barrages.

Page 46: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Existing situation• Water is becoming scarce with each passing day. Per capita

availability of fresh water in Pakistan has decreased by about 800% since 1950.

• Efficient use of the irrigation water is the only sustainable option left with us.

• Surface water is still the largest source of irrigation in Pakistan (31% as a single source)

585000 Km (36932 miles) and that of watercourses & field channels exceeds 1.62 million Km (over 1.02 million miles).

Page 53: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Mechanized Agriculture• Mechanized agriculture is the process of using agricultural

machinery to mechanized the work of agriculture, greatly increasing farm productivity.

• In modern times powered machinery has replaced many jobs carried out by men or animals.

Page 54: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Ancients Methodology

Page 55: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Agricultural Sector Development• Significant progress has been made in development of the

agricultural sector in Pakistan since the time of independence in 1947.

• At that time, the Indus Basin was irrigated with an extensive system of canal irrigation, with low-yielding traditional seed varieties, fertilized mainly with animal manure and cultivated by means of animal power and by hand.

Page 56: Agriculture sector of pakistan

In the early 1960s……..Conditions that favored more rapid growth were put in

place:• The Indus Water Agreement was signed under the

chairing of the World Bank.• The Indus Basin Development Fund was established

with multidonor support.

Page 57: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Modern Technology• In the 20th century through mechanization self propelled

mechanical harvester, planters and other equipments were developed ,further revolutionizing agriculture.

• These invention allow farming tasks to be done with a speed and on a scale previously impossible leading modern farms to output much greater volume of high quality produce per land unit.

or trailers etc

• CULTIVATOR:-• It is used for stir and pulverize .

Page 62: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Modern Machinery• SEED DRILL:-• It is a sowing device.• The use of seed drill can improve the ratio of crop yield by as

much as nine times.

Page 63: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Modern MachineryDRIP IRRIGATION: (tickle or micro irrigation)

Saves water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants ,through a pipes ,tubing, and emmiters.

It is done through narrow tubes that deliver water directly to the base of plant.

Page 64: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Issues with Irrigation system• Supply driven rather than demand led distribution of

water without consideration of cropping pattern• Inequity of irrigation water both inter and intra

provincial level and watercourse level

Page 65: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Irrigation Issues• Maintenance of centuries old irrigation system• System losses as high as 55%• Slow approach for watercourse improvement and

lining• Lack of water conservation and application

techniques at the farm level

Page 66: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Operations for Improving Irrigation Water Productivity

• Technical:– Land leveling to apply water more uniformly – Efficient sprinklers to apply water more uniformly– Furrow and bed cultivation to save water– Drip irrigation to conserve water

Page 67: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Operations for Improvement• Managerial:

– Better irrigation scheduling– Improving canal operations for timely deliveries– Applying water when most crucial to a crops yield– Water-conserving field operation methods– Better maintenance of canal, watercourses and equipment– Recycling drainage water

Page 68: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Operations for Improvement• Institutional:• Establishing water users organizations for better

management of water • Fostering rural infrastructure for private sector

dissemination of efficient technologies• Better training and extension efforts

Page 69: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Issues with Agriculture• At present about 1/5th of the cultivated land is

affected by:– water logging and salinity – An additional area of 2.8 million hectares suffers from

sodicity

Page 70: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Issues…• Notwithstanding huge investments, the water

table was;– 0 to 1.5 m under 2.2 million hectares of irrigated land,– 1.5 to 3 m under 6 million hectares– 0 to 3 m under 8 million hectares.

Page 71: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Issues …• In 1998, the total population of Pakistan was 130 million.• With a population growth rate of 2.6% there is a net addition

of 3.4 million people each year. In 1947 the population of Pakistan was 32.5 million; – In 50 years it has increased fourfold.

•But………….

Page 72: Agriculture sector of pakistan

But…….!• During this period the production of wheat, the major food

crop, has increased only 2.9 fold. During 1970/71 the amount of wheat imported was 0.3 million tons; it has increased to 4.1 million tons in 1997.– So, wheat import was increasing since 1970s.

Page 73: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Issues…• There have been some years of dismal growth and some

years of cruising growth.– Since 1980, agricultural GDP has more than doubled, increasing from

Rs 76 billion in 1980 to more than Rs 141 billion in 1996/97, with a steady growth rate of 3.9% annually.

– Agriculture's share of total GDP however, declined from about 31% to just 24% over the same period. Crop production contributed the largest share of agricultural GDP (62%). With livestock contributing 34% and fisheries and forestry the remaining 4%.

Page 74: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Other issues may include• Floods• Scarcity of funds• Ignorance of farmers• Under utilization of cultivable land• Land erosion• Poor system of transportation, etc….

Page 75: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Solutions Steps taken by government to solve the agricultural issues:• Policy measures:

– Better support prices– Soil preparation practices– Timely availability of fertilizer– Certified seeds

Page 76: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Solutions

By virtue of this policy:– Production of wheat reached a level of 16.7

million tons, and there was also a 13.7% increase in the production of Basmati rice. The overall production of rice registered an increase of 8.5%.

Page 77: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Recommendations • Control of water-logging and salinity• Flood Control• Training of farmers• Invest in small-scale food production • Support sustainable models of production

Page 78: Agriculture sector of pakistan

Recommendations • Beware of false solutions – agriculture in carbon

markets and agrofuels• Secure access to land• Align finance, trade and agriculture policies to realize

the right to adequate food • Change consumption patterns and reduce food

waste and post-harvest loss•
