  4. Rice Production in Districts of Punjab Pakistan Gujrat (SDPI, 2004)

  5. Food Production in Districts of Punjab, Pakistan Gujrat (SDPI, 2004)

  6. PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF MAJOR FOOD ITEMS IN GUJRAT, PAKISTAN (GoP, 2003 & SDPI, 2004)

  12. Typical Problems of Farmers in Marketing in Pakistan • Production-orientation • Small marketable surplus • Inefficient produce preparation • Ineffective rural assembly markets • Credit availability • Lack of group action • Lack of vertical co-ordination of marketing channels.

Government Interventions in Price Stability Government of Pakistan annually reviews and announces the support prices of important commodities Crops Wheat, Rice, Cotton, Sugarcane, Potato, Gram, Onion, Oilseeds • Objectives • To protect farmers against undue fall in prices • To promote farm investment on sustainable basis • To stabilize prices in off-season (GOP, 2001)

  16. Government Interventions in Price Stability • Price Determinants • Cost of production • Import/export parity prices • Domestic and world demand/supply • Change in nominal and real price • Profitability in the use of inputs • Comparatives economics of competing crops • Production targets • Impact on other sectors of economy Outcome Crops covered under price program experience not only positive growth rates area and production but also in productivity (GOP, 2001)

  17. PER CAPITA MONTHLY CONSUMPTION OF MAJOR FOOD ITEMS

  18. Percentage Change in Per Capita Monthly Consumption of Major Food Items

  19. Source of Calories IFPRI, 1993

  20. Factors affecting Nutrition • Fluctuation in income do not translate in to fluctuations in calories intake in rural household. • Households cope with seasonal low and higher prices through savings and storage of grains • Calories-income elasticities in the sample household range from 0.12 to 0.39 • Education of Women is foun to be key factor in achieving the better nutrition • Education of women is nearly three times effective than increasing income by 10 percent • Diarrhea and illness strongly determine the nutritional status of pre-schoolers IFPRI, 1993

Preferences in Food Gender In the village, female family members control sphere of food in their homes. 80% male members always get privilege in food distribution even if they were not at home their portion was kept aside before serving to other members of the family Change in Preference There has been a rapid exogenous decline over time in the share of gram. The demand for chicken was faster after 1982-83 than before it i.e. there was a structural change in consumer preferences.

  22. Food Processing Why Processing Post harvest losses of fruits and vegetables are an important factor of food deficit in the country. In general, post harvest losses of food crops are approximately 20% of the harvest and in the case of fruits and vegetables these losses are about 30% to 40%. Most of these losses take place at storage, transportation and processing. (Rana, 2000) Food Processing Food industry is the largest industry of Pakistan accounting for 27 percent of the total value-added production, and 16 percent of the total employment in the manufacturing sector.
