Agriculture Sector Of Pakistan By: MarjanArbab Lecturer, BUITEMS
Farm Mechanization • Use of Machines for conduction agricultural operations and Replacing Human and Animal Labour • harvesting, Thrashing, Levelling , Spraying etc. • Farm Mechanical Technology includes: • Chemical Technology==Plant Protection Measure • Hydrological Technology=Tubewells, Irrigation System • Mechanical Technology Tractor, Bulldozer, Thrashers etc.
Argument For Farm Mechanization • Increases the Volume of Production • Encourage Multiple Croping • Greater Land Cultivation • Increase in Labor Productivity • Reduction in Cost • Increase in Come
Argument Against Farm Mech. • Increase in Unemployment • Initial Costs of Mahinery is High • Applying the Machinery on Large Scale is Long term process. • Problem of Diversion of Capital from industrial to Agricultural.
Strategies for Developing Countries Case 1: • Area with surplus labour • Use new seeds • Fertilizers • Water management • These can Increase productivity even with traditional Cultivation.
Strategies cont. • Case 2: • Area where Land needs to be levelled • Bulldozers • Thrashers • Less labour is required for such work of leveling the land for cultivation
Strategies Cont. • Case 3: • Area where River Irrigation Water is not available than: • Condition of Sweet Groud water • Installation of Tubewells is very Effective • Quetta, Baluchistan Ghabargh (Airport side) ground water sourness gives less productivity in fruits and grops.
GREEN REVOLUTION • The Technological Breakthrough by Dr normanBorlaungin evolving Seeds of High Yielding Variety tied with the use of Fertilizers and pesticides brought a revolution in Agri. output which is known as GREEN REVOLTUION. • For Wheat Seeds were imported from Mexico and Philippines for Rice production
Factors of Green Revolution • Miracle SeedsHigh yielding Variety Seeds used • Agricultural Research Better Method of controlling insects • Fertilizers Chemical Fertilizers • Multiple Cropping • Modern Machinery • Institutional Changes land reformation
Impact of Green Revolution • Increase in Production • Social imbalances Reduced • Impact on Employment • Increase in Investment • Economic Stability • Social Welfare
