Strategies for Agriculture
Development in Pakistan
Shafqat Farooq
Ex-Director (Academic Planning),

CEO: AM AgriCon (SMC-PVT) Ltd, Islamabad
Strategies for increasing agriculture production
Constraints of Agriculture
i. Immense water shortage,
ii. Depletion of soil organic matter and unbalanced plant nutrition
iii. Salinization of originally productive soils
iv. Yield gap
v. Excessive use of environment unfriendly chemicals including
nitrogenous fertilizers and pesticides,
v. Contamination of soil and water with hazardous metals/chemical
vi. Insufficient disease control measures for poultry/animal production
Finding solutions to these constraints
can result in development of
agriculture
The indicator of this development
should reflect in GDP growth which
determines how fast the economy
is growing.
Technically, economic growth
means percentage increase or
decrease of GDP compared to the
previous quarter.
In the country like Pakistan
where economic development is
largely linked with agricultural
development,
it is essential that the
contribution of agriculture to
GDP should not be less than
50% but as of 2012, it stands at
21.2%.

Strategies for increasing agriculture production
Perhaps, we have not been able
to address all, some or key
constraints of agriculture
developmentDuring 2011-2012
Major crops grew at 3.2% GDP growth was 3.7%
while
Overall agriculture grew at
3.17% against the target of
3.4%
Target of GDP growth
was 4.2 %.
0.17% below the target 0.5% below the target
Low production of wheat was considered as one of the
main causes of missing targets (says economic survey
2012)
Target GDP growth for 2013 is
4.1%
Anticipating that major crops
will contribute 4%, minor
crops 4.5%, livestock 4.2%,
fisheries 2% and forestry 2% if
every thing remain the same
only wheat will decide the fate
of GDP during 2013
Target GDP growth for 2013 is
4.1%
Anticipating that major crops
will contribute 4%, Minor
crops 4.5%, livestock 4.2%,
fisheries 2% and forestry 2% if
every thing remain the same
only wheat will decide the fate
of GDP during 2013
While targets for livestock,
fisheries and forestry are positive,
targets for major and minor crops
are expected to fluctuate
Target GDP growth for 2013 is
4.1%
Anticipated targets
for major crops in
2013

What is required in crop sector and why?
Resources comprising land, water and manpower
so that agriculture can be:
Productive: So that share in GDP can be increased from
21.2 % to 27% by 2015
Profitable: So that it can generate more income with
less expenditure compared to other ventures
and should produce exportable commodities
Competitive: So that it can reduce poverty in the rural
areas, through providing livelihood and
creation of jobs
Sustainable: So that it should be able to absorb shocks
and remain productive forever,
We have in hand
Available Potential
Land 23.13 Mha 6.30 Mha saline
0.80 Mha under GTC
0.41 Mha under KC
0.17 Mha under RC
Water 89.8 MAF (2012) 8500 Cusecs in GTC
6000 Cusecs in KC
5155 Cusecs in RC
19655 Cusecs in total
Manpower: 45% (2012) All those related with
newly irrigated areas
Rabi season (Winter)
Major crops: Wheat,
Minor crops: oil seed, grams
Wheat (Anticipated wheat production in 2012-2013 would be >26Mt: highest ever)
Target during 2012-2013 : 25.5 Mt
Achieved in 2011-2012: 23.52 Mt
Current area: 08.7 Mha Should be ≥9Mha
Current production: 23.5 M tons Should be ≥26 M tons
Current share in GDP 2.6% Should be ≥4%
All the targets can be met through
different strategies
Strategy-1:
Increase in area under cultivation which require
additional irrigation water
Strategy-2:
Increase in yield which require intensive research
Strategy-3:
Shift in agriculture pattern which require strategic
planning
Are all the 3 strategies are doable?
Stragety-1: part-1 Additional water availability
1. Greater Thal Canal (GTC), Punjab
Passes through Bhakkar, Layyah, Khushab, Jhang
Taken out of Chasham Jehlum Link Canal near Adhi Kot
Will carry flood water in Monsoon season which will of 8500 cusecs of water
That will be for at-least 120 days:4 months and can be used for sugarcane,
wheat and oil seed crops
1.9 M acres (0.8M ha) in Punjab will be benefited
2. Kachhi Canal (KC), Punjab and Balochistan
Will pass through Muzaffargarh, DG Khan, Rajanpur in Punjab, and
Dera Bugti Naseerabad, Bolan and Jhal Magsi in Balochistan
and would irrigate area 713,000 (0.289Mha) of which 102,000 acres (0.0413 Mha
are in Southern Punjab and will carry Punjab share of water and flood water
of 6000 cusecs
3. Rainee Canal (RC), Sind
Will pass through Ghotki, Sukkur, and Khairpur of Sind
Will be taken from Guddu Barrage
Will carry 5155 cusecs of water, and
Will irrigate about 412,400 acres (0.167Mha) in Sind
Strategy-1: part-2:Increase in area
1.089Mha extra area would be available in Punjab that will come in the command
of GTC and KC
Use 0.339M ha of 1.089M ha that comes under Grater Thal Canal
(GTC) in which 120 days of water is also available.
Current average wheat yield is 2714kg/ha
With same yield, additional production of 0.92M tons is possible
339,000 (GTC) x 2714=920,046,000 kg or 0.92 M tons
i.e. total production would be 24.44 Mt. (Add 2011-2012 production of 23.52Mt)
Domestic consumption=20Mt @ ½ kg/person of 10-60 years old
Smuggling: 2 Mt: Remaining: 2.44 Mt
Export at international price or keep as buffer stock
Result: Food security/profitability and
increased share in GDP
Strategy-2: Researchable areas
Wheat Chickpea
Water deficiency tolerance Stress tolerance both
High temperature tolerance wilt and blight
Low input requirement High yielding
Disease resistance Uniform maturity
High yielding
Improved root system
Techniques to be used for research
Inter and intra-specific crosses, Hybrid
breeding, Mutation breeding
Strategy-3: Shift in Agriculture pattern
Use 1.054Mha area allocated for chick pea by
diverting entire chick pea crop in the Thal area
under GTC and KC (1.089Mha),
This will bring another 1054,000 ha under wheat
1054,000 x 2741=2,88901400 kg or
2.89Mt additional wheat, i.e.
total wheat production will be 26.41 Mt
(add production of 2011-2012: 23.52 Mt)
(Enough for domestic consumption, and export)
The GDP share will increase automatically
Together we
achieve the
target because
Where there isWhere there is
a will there is aa will there is a
way
Thanks

Strategies for increasing agriculture production

  • 1. Strategies for Agriculture Development in Pakistan Shafqat Farooq Ex-Director (Academic Planning), PIEAS, Islamabad CEO: AM AgriCon (SMC-PVT) Ltd, Islamabad
  • 3. Constraints of Agriculture i. Immense water shortage, ii. Depletion of soil organic matter and unbalanced plant nutrition iii. Salinization of originally productive soils iv. Yield gap v. Excessive use of environment unfriendly chemicals including nitrogenous fertilizers and pesticides, v. Contamination of soil and water with hazardous metals/chemical vi. Insufficient disease control measures for poultry/animal production Finding solutions to these constraints can result in development of agriculture
  • 4. The indicator of this development should reflect in GDP growth which determines how fast the economy is growing. Technically, economic growth means percentage increase or decrease of GDP compared to the previous quarter.
  • 5. In the country like Pakistan where economic development is largely linked with agricultural development, it is essential that the contribution of agriculture to GDP should not be less than 50% but as of 2012, it stands at 21.2%.
  • 6. Ayub Bhutto Zia ul Haq Benizir/N Shrif Musharaf Zardarii
  • 8. Perhaps, we have not been able to address all, some or key constraints of agriculture developmentDuring 2011-2012 Major crops grew at 3.2% GDP growth was 3.7% while Overall agriculture grew at 3.17% against the target of 3.4% Target of GDP growth was 4.2 %. 0.17% below the target 0.5% below the target Low production of wheat was considered as one of the main causes of missing targets (says economic survey 2012)
  • 9. Target GDP growth for 2013 is 4.1% Anticipating that major crops will contribute 4%, minor crops 4.5%, livestock 4.2%, fisheries 2% and forestry 2% if every thing remain the same only wheat will decide the fate of GDP during 2013
  • 10. Target GDP growth for 2013 is 4.1% Anticipating that major crops will contribute 4%, Minor crops 4.5%, livestock 4.2%, fisheries 2% and forestry 2% if every thing remain the same only wheat will decide the fate of GDP during 2013 While targets for livestock, fisheries and forestry are positive, targets for major and minor crops are expected to fluctuate
  • 11. Target GDP growth for 2013 is 4.1% Anticipated targets for major crops in 2013 Provisional estimates in 2013 Wheat 25.5 Mt >26 Mt Rice 06.9 Mt 07.2 Mt S-cane 59.0 Mt 68.5 Mt Maize 04.3 Mt 04.3 Mt Cotton 14.5 13.9 Mb
  • 12. Target GDP growth for 2013 is 4.1% Anticipating targets for major crops are Prov. estimat e In 2013 If wheat remain s GDP growth will be Wheat 25.5 Mt >26 Mt 25.5Mt 4.6% Rice 06.9 Mt 07.2 Mt 24.5 Mt 4.0% S-cane 59.0 Mt 68.5 Mt >26Mt 5.0%
  • 13. What is required in crop sector and why? Resources comprising land, water and manpower so that agriculture can be: Productive: So that share in GDP can be increased from 21.2 % to 27% by 2015 Profitable: So that it can generate more income with less expenditure compared to other ventures and should produce exportable commodities Competitive: So that it can reduce poverty in the rural areas, through providing livelihood and creation of jobs Sustainable: So that it should be able to absorb shocks and remain productive forever,
  • 14. We have in hand Available Potential Land 23.13 Mha 6.30 Mha saline 0.80 Mha under GTC 0.41 Mha under KC 0.17 Mha under RC Water 89.8 MAF (2012) 8500 Cusecs in GTC 6000 Cusecs in KC 5155 Cusecs in RC 19655 Cusecs in total Manpower: 45% (2012) All those related with newly irrigated areas
  • 15. Rabi season (Winter) Major crops: Wheat, Minor crops: oil seed, grams Wheat (Anticipated wheat production in 2012-2013 would be >26Mt: highest ever) Target during 2012-2013 : 25.5 Mt Achieved in 2011-2012: 23.52 Mt Current area: 08.7 Mha Should be ≥9Mha Current production: 23.5 M tons Should be ≥26 M tons Current share in GDP 2.6% Should be ≥4% All the targets can be met through different strategies
  • 16. Strategy-1: Increase in area under cultivation which require additional irrigation water Strategy-2: Increase in yield which require intensive research Strategy-3: Shift in agriculture pattern which require strategic planning Are all the 3 strategies are doable?
  • 17. Stragety-1: part-1 Additional water availability 1. Greater Thal Canal (GTC), Punjab Passes through Bhakkar, Layyah, Khushab, Jhang Taken out of Chasham Jehlum Link Canal near Adhi Kot Will carry flood water in Monsoon season which will of 8500 cusecs of water That will be for at-least 120 days:4 months and can be used for sugarcane, wheat and oil seed crops 1.9 M acres (0.8M ha) in Punjab will be benefited 2. Kachhi Canal (KC), Punjab and Balochistan Will pass through Muzaffargarh, DG Khan, Rajanpur in Punjab, and Dera Bugti Naseerabad, Bolan and Jhal Magsi in Balochistan and would irrigate area 713,000 (0.289Mha) of which 102,000 acres (0.0413 Mha are in Southern Punjab and will carry Punjab share of water and flood water of 6000 cusecs 3. Rainee Canal (RC), Sind Will pass through Ghotki, Sukkur, and Khairpur of Sind Will be taken from Guddu Barrage Will carry 5155 cusecs of water, and Will irrigate about 412,400 acres (0.167Mha) in Sind
  • 18. Strategy-1: part-2:Increase in area 1.089Mha extra area would be available in Punjab that will come in the command of GTC and KC Use 0.339M ha of 1.089M ha that comes under Grater Thal Canal (GTC) in which 120 days of water is also available. Current average wheat yield is 2714kg/ha With same yield, additional production of 0.92M tons is possible 339,000 (GTC) x 2714=920,046,000 kg or 0.92 M tons i.e. total production would be 24.44 Mt. (Add 2011-2012 production of 23.52Mt) Domestic consumption=20Mt @ ½ kg/person of 10-60 years old Smuggling: 2 Mt: Remaining: 2.44 Mt Export at international price or keep as buffer stock Result: Food security/profitability and increased share in GDP
  • 19. Strategy-2: Researchable areas Wheat Chickpea Water deficiency tolerance Stress tolerance both High temperature tolerance wilt and blight Low input requirement High yielding Disease resistance Uniform maturity High yielding Improved root system Techniques to be used for research Inter and intra-specific crosses, Hybrid breeding, Mutation breeding
  • 20. Strategy-3: Shift in Agriculture pattern Use 1.054Mha area allocated for chick pea by diverting entire chick pea crop in the Thal area under GTC and KC (1.089Mha), This will bring another 1054,000 ha under wheat 1054,000 x 2741=2,88901400 kg or 2.89Mt additional wheat, i.e. total wheat production will be 26.41 Mt (add production of 2011-2012: 23.52 Mt) (Enough for domestic consumption, and export) The GDP share will increase automatically
  • 21. Together we achieve the target because Where there isWhere there is a will there is aa will there is a way
