Cotton crop data were analyzed using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, co-integration test and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. The results of co-integration test show that there exists a long-term relationship between output of cotton crop, area under cotton crop, fertilizer consumption and agricultural gross domestic product of Pakistan. Regression analysis results showed that output of cotton and fertilizer consumption has positive relationship with agricultural gross domestic product of Pakistan while area under cotton crop has a negative relationship with agricultural gross domestic product (AGDP) of Pakistan.
