Agriculture covers a major part in Pakistan’s economy. Moreover, it is the backbone of Pakistan’s economical sector. Agriculture contributes almost 21 percent to the GDP and 70 percent of export depends on it. Unfortunately, the agricultural sector of Pakistan is fumbling today and it has ailed economy of the country as well. It is no rocket-science that the momentous reason behind this fiasco is the crisis of water. Crops like rice, sugarcane and some others are known for their ample use of water. Given the acute shortage of water, Pakistan cannot afford to grow these crops. The government must pay attention to this whopping water menace in order to boost up the uncounted agricultural sector. Furthermore, this will play a vital role in augmenting the frail economic sector. ZAID BUKHARI Via Email Published in Daily Times, October 20th 2018.
