Emerging challenges—such as national food security and climate change—have shifted global and national policy focus toward developing and modernizing agriculture.

Pakistan’s agriculture sector holds significant potential for generating foreign exchange, particularly through value-added products. However, the majority of farmers are smallholders facing daily operational constraints, resulting in yields that are currently low to mid-range compared with global standards. Without intervention, this trend risks limiting the country’s ability to meet the nutritional needs of its growing population by 2030.
