27. Problems of Agriculture
Water logging and salinity
Water shortage / Drought
Irrigation
Lack of funds
Monopoly Of Foreign Companies
Soil erosion
Hoarding and Smuggling
Outcome is Food Insecurity, Incompetitiveness, low
productivity
28. Waterlogging and salinity
It is caused when the water
table rises to 1.5 meter.
Water evaporation leave salt
on surface making land
unproductive.
Stagnant water then
adversely effect the growth of
plants.
Solution: Install tubewells
pump out extra and access
water from agricultural land.
Deploy drainage systems for
control of water in farms.
29. Water shortage / Drought
It is caused by poor irrigation
system and unpredictable
rainfall.
Solution: Government should
improve irrigation system.
Take legal notice on stealing
of water.
Improve canals, dams and
barrages.
30. Poor fertilizers and pesticides
The quality of pesticides and
fertilizers in Pakistan is poor.
Although the available
fertilizers and pesticides in
Pakistan are out of reach of
small farmers.
Solution: Pakistani
government should build
chemical fertilizer and
pesticide industries.
Control price of fertilizers.
31. Lack of funds
The farmers in Pakistan are
not financially strong to
manage their cultivation.
Improper loan system by
government.
Solution: Government should
improve system of providing
loan.
Also help farmers to
purchase machinery and
acquire latest technology.
32. Modernization and Green
Revolution
Corporate Farming:
Farm mechanization is one of the packages of
Green Revolution.
Farm mechanization means the use of
mechanical technology in the varied farming
operations.
This technology includes Chemical,
Hydrological and Mechanical Technology.
The policy has been framed to accelerate the
pace of agricultural mechanization in the
country.
33. Latest mechinery should be provided to the farmers
to increase the per acre yield on easy installments
If possible subsidy should be given by the
government of modern machinery
This includes drip irrigation and sprinkle irrigation
methods.
By using this technique the farmers can save a huge
some of money which he pays for irrigation through
tubewells and tracktors.
37. World Muslim population of 1.83 billion in 2009 out of 6.5 billion

With average annual growth rate of about 1.80% per annum.
approximately 117,000,000 per yr. increase which does not
include conversion which on the rise currently.
Global Halal products market is estimated at US$2.3 trillion
