Role of Research, Applications, and Dissemination in Agriculture (Pak)

Article Summary by: ramzan    

Original Author: Muhammad Ramzan
Agriculture contributes, cereals, fruits, vegetables, flowers, and many other basic necessities of life. For the countries
like Pakistan it is proven backbone of the economy. It provides raw material for many industries. According to an estimate, agro-based industry contributes 64% of the total industrial production of Pakistan, accounts 23% of Pakistan’s national income (GDP), nearly 9% of the country’s export earnings. So in all cases, no body can deny the importance of this feeding mother. But the present scenario of agriculture in Pakistan is not satisfactory. We have two main cash crops, Wheat and Cotton. In wheat, yet we are not able to meet our own requirements, In cotton, We have not a single disease resistant variety. Country’s other main crops are rice, maize, sugarcane, potato, etc. But in every crop, we are not much expert to export it on high level. Being an agricultural country, it is quite painful to import many basic agricultural commodities, like onion, garlic, wheat, meat, and many others.
