The document discusses Pakistan's agricultural sector and the challenges it faces in becoming an Asian Tiger economy. Some of the major problems in the agricultural sector include limited cultivable land, water logging and salinity issues, low crop yields, outdated farming methods, lack of infrastructure and research, and uneconomic land holdings. To address these issues, the document suggests measures such as providing farmers access to credit, improved seeds and machinery, investing in irrigation infrastructure, and expanding agricultural research. Overall, developing the agricultural sector through modernization and overcoming resource constraints is key to strengthening Pakistan's economy.
4. INTRIDUCTION
The Four Asian Tigers or Asian Dragons is a term used in reference to the highly developed economies of Hong
Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan after 1970. These regions were the first newly industrialized countries,
noted for maintaining exceptionally high growth rates and rapid industrialization between the early 1960s and 1990s.
By the 21st century, all four regions have since graduated into advanced economies and high-income economies.
Now people say that all four countries are rich countries. All four Asian Tigers have a lot of people who are very
educated and good at their jobs. They also did different things, and tried to do them better than other countries. For
example, Hong Kong and Singapore became very good at international finance, while South Korea and Taiwan
became very good at information technology. However, attention has increasingly shifted to other Asian economies
which are now experiencing faster economic transformation
A country is known as tiger of its continent if its economy is strongest among all other countries of same continent.
But to make a country a tiger of its continent, betterments/improvements in many fields are required. Pakistan is the
next country having the same vision. Pakistan has a semi-industrialized economy, which mainly encompasses
textiles, chemicals, food processing, agriculture and other industries. Growth poles of Pakistan's economy are
situated along the Indus River; diversified economies of Karachi and Punjab's urban centers coexist with lesser
developed areas in other parts of the country. The economy has suffered in the past from decades of internal political
disputes, a fast growing population, mixed levels of foreign investment and high defense spending. Foreign
exchange reserves are bolstered by steady worker remittances, but a growing current account deficit – driven by a
widening trade gap as import growth outstrips export expansion – could draw down reserves and dampen GDP
growth in the medium term. But if we want to make Pakistan an Asian Tiger, we need to tie up all the broken ends
and we will have to struggle each and every day, day and night to achieve our goal. Following Sectors still needs
improvements if we want to make our country an Asian tiger.

23. DISCUSS THE MAJOR PROBLEMS OF
AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF PAKISTAN. WHAT
MEASURES DO YOU SUGGEST TO IMPROVE
THIS SECTOR? AND MAKE A PAKISTAN AS A
ASIAN TIGER ………..
AGRICULTER SECTOR
24. INTRODUCTION :
Agricultural sector is the backbone of our economy. But the
growth of agriculture in Pakistan is facing a lot of problems. Due
to various causes, per acre yield is very low in Pakistan as
compare to other developed countries.
Agriculture is central to economic growth and development in
Pakistan. Being the dominant sector it contributes 21.4 percent to
GDP, employs 45 percent of the country’s labour force and
contributes in the growth of other sectors of the economy
The agriculture growth this year stood at 3.3 percent as compared
to 3.5 percent during the last year.
25. PROBLEMS OF AGRICULTURAL SECTOR
Problems of agricultural sector are categorized as below:
TECHNO-ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
1) Limited Cultivable Area
The total area of Pakistan is about 79.6 million
hectares, out of which only 23.7 million hectares
(28%) area is used for agricultural purposes. About
8 million hectares area is idle and un-utilized. There
is vast sub-division and fragmentation of land
holdings, as a result modern technology cannot be
applied in agriculture sector.
26. 2 Water Logging and Salinity
Water logging and salinity are twin problems of agricultural sector
due to salinity, deposits of salt in land have appeared on the surface
of land and they have adversely affected the performance of
agricultural sector. Water logging and salinity affect about 0.10
million acre of land in every year. It is not only waste of land but also
reduction in productivity.
3) Slow Growth of Allied Products
Allied products refer to those productions, which are not agricultural
but indirectly, help the farmer to improve his living
standard. Pakistan is in-sufficient in the production of fruits, milk,
poultry, fisheries, livestock and forestry. As a result not only our food
quality is poor but also industries such as furniture, textiles and dairy
cannot be developed.
27. 4) Low Per Hectare Yield
The most important problem of agriculture is its low yield per hectare for
almost every major crop. 45.0% of labour force is engaged in this sector in
Pakistan while it is less than 5% in developed countries. But, other countries
of world are getting higher yield per hectare due to use of modern technology
and trained labour.
5) Inadequate Infrastructure
Rural infrastructure like, roads, storage facilities, transport, electricity,
education, sanitation and health facilities etc. is inadequate to meet the
requirement of growth of agriculture. Total length of farm-to-market road is
not only shorter but their condition is also poor. Many villages have no metal-
led road at all. Electricity is available to only 3/4 rural populations.
28. 6) Uneconomic Land Holdings
Due to increasing population and division of land under the law of
inheritance, landholdings are subdivided over and over again. The
result is that very large number of farmers has less than 2 hectares
of area. Moreover holdings are scattered. It is difficult to use
modern machinery on small pieces of land.
7) Old Methods of Production
No doubt, mechanization of agriculture is increasing in Pakistan,
but in most of the areas, the old implements are still being used for
agricultural production. Old and orthodox techniques of production
cannot increase the production according to international levels.
29. 8) Inadequate Supply of Agricultural Inputs
The supply of modern inputs like high yielding variety (HYV) seeds,
chemical fertilizers, pesticides, mechanized machinery etc. not only costly
but also inadequate and irregular in Pakistan. Numbers of fertilizer
producing units are just 10 in Pakistan.
9) Lack of Irrigation Facilities
Shortage of irrigation facilities causes a serious limitation in the expansion
of crop area in Pakistan. The lower water supplies, loses from water course
in the fields are the serious problems of farm sector. Actual surface water
availability is 91.8 million acre feet.
10) Inadequate Agricultural Research
The average crop yield in Pakistan is very low as compared to the
production levels of the advanced countries of the world. In order to raise
the potential of agricultural production, there should be continuous
improvement in the research for agricultural growth. Total agricultural
universities and colleges are only 16 in Pakistan.
30. 11) Problem of Land Reforms
Land reforms have been implemented against the will of people.
There is an urgent need to conduct a proper land reform for improving
agricultural growth. Due to this problem agricultural production
cannot increase to desired level.
12) Defective Land Tenure System
Defective land tenure system is also responsible for low yield per acre
in agricultural sector. Landlords and feudal-lords live in posh urban
areas while tenants and peasants have no or less incentive for their
hard work. So, the productivity in agricultural sector remains low.
31. 13) Subsistence Farming
Our farmer is attached with subsistence farming; a huge of portion of
production is consumed at farmer’s own house to support large family.
Hence, less portion of the production is available for market supply. It
causes low income of the farmers. Farming is not conducted at commercial
level in Pakistan.
14) Low Cropping Intensity
Cropping intensity means the number of crops grown on a piece of land in
one year. At the present stage of our development, there is low level of
cropping intensity as compared to advanced countries. Cultivable area
under double or multiple cropping is inadequate in Pakistan
15) Improper Crop Rotation
Proper turning round of crops is essential to re-establish the fertility of the
land. The constant cultivation of one crop or two; exhausts the fertility of
the soil. Proper rotation of crops is necessary in order to restore the fertility.

MEASURES TO REMOVE
THESE PROBLEMS
37. Being an agrarian country, agricultural sector of Pakistan’s economy
is still backward. Use of modern techniques, provision of credit
facilities, basic infrastructure and agriculture research facilities are
needed to remove all the problems of agriculture sector.

Technical education must be given to all the classes.
Promote primary education
98. Terrorism
Pakistan plays a key and highly conflicted--role in the global war
on terror. Today terrorism is threatening the very roots and fabric
of Pakistan’s nationhood. More tragically, terrorism in Pakistan
draws its justification from the very faith which provides the
country its ideological bases.
Reason
The major causes of Terrorism in Pakistan are:
1- Political Instability
4- Religious Extremism
3- Standard of Living
2- Economic Conditions
99. War on Terrorism
War against terrorism is another very important reason
behind the economical problem.
War is affecting the world’s economy and is causing
problems like shortage of fuel, lack of funds, increase in
health problem etc.
War benefits none, someone is hurt badly and someone is
destroyed completely.
Solution
The real solution is to kill the root of Terrorism and
systematically change the attitude of those people’s who are
involved in terrorism
- Military operations against terrorists are also very necessary.
Education, Justice, Pour politics can stop the Terrorism..???
100. CORRUPTION
Corruption is the prime reason behind the economical
unstableness.
Corruption has spread into the world and has ruined the
economy.
