ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS OF THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR OF PAKISTAN TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

Abstract

Agriculture is an important part of Pakistan's economy. It makes up a large part of the country's GDP, generates employment, ensures food security, and helps many people make a living. About 38.5% of the people who work in rural areas rely on this sector. There are a lot of problems in the industry, such as a lack of water, a growing population, traditional farming methods, a shift in labor from the country to urban areas, and an uneven distribution of canal water systems. The government needs to take the lead in figuring out and fixing the serious problems in the farming sector, such as giving farmers more help, bringing in new technologies and policies, and building more dams. Pakistan's economy depends extensively on the country's farm industry. The biggest problems are the lack of water, the lack of modern farming methods, the difficulty in getting credit, and the lack of infrastructure. To deal with these problems, the paper suggests increasing access to credit through micro-finance, developing modern farming methods, giving farmers access to markets, and improving irrigation and other infrastructure; by putting these ideas into action, Pakistan's agriculture industry can become more productive, and help the country's economy grow.
