Description

Agriculture is by far the most important sector for Pakistan’s economy. The forward and backward linkages to the rest of the domestic economy, to the international trade and with poverty alleviation are very strong. A bad year for agriculture due to drought or other natural calamities has extremely adverse effect on GDP growth, living standards of the population, price level, exportable surplus and balance of payments. Thus the dichotomy of agriculture vs. industry or services sectors is totally false as agriculture forms the backbone of the whole economy.
