Challenges in Pakistan's Agriculture Sector

Agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan's economy, but growth in the sector faces many problems. Some key issues include limited cultivable land due to small and fragmented landholdings that prevent modern technology use. Water logging and salinity also affect around 0.1 million acres annually, reducing productivity and wasting land. Slow growth in allied agricultural products further hurts farmers' livelihoods and ability to improve standards of living.
