The economy of Pakistan heavily depends upon the gains from the agricultural sectors which include the cultivation of major crops like wheat, maze, rice, sugarcane and vegetables. Few years back the agricultural sector was producing enough output to fulfill the requirements of Pakistan as well as there left enough production to export it to other countries as well. But now despite being facilitated by modern machines and technologies agricultural sector is continuously falling downward, instead of flourishing and developing. The reason are :Decrease in agricultural land due to using it for construction of mega projects/houses, shortage of water, shortage of quality seeds, fertilizers and pesticides, flood and negligence of concern authorities of State Government. The high rates of fluctuation in prices also discourage the farmers to produce more production.
The deficits in agricultural sector can be controlled if the state government imposes a ban on non agricultural projects on agricultural lands; this step will not only ensure the maximum availability of lands to the farmers but will maximize the output per acres. The government should encourage the citizens to build the houses, building and market in residence and commercial areas only and fixed amount of land should be allocated for agriculture. Research and experiments should be carried out with the help of agricultural researcher and experts in order to increase the overall production through better management, modern techniques and methods of production. These all remedies will help the agricultural sector to minimize the deficit financing in exports and imports of Pakistan and stabilizing the crashed economy.
