Pakistan's principal natural resources are arable land and water. About 25% of Pakistan's total land area is under cultivation and is watered by one of the largest irrigation systems in the world. Pakistan irrigates three times more acres than Russia. Agriculture accounts for about 21% of GDP and employs about 41% of the labor force. In Pakistan, the most agricultural province is Punjab where wheat and cotton are the most grown. Some people also have mango orchards but due to some problems like weather, they're not found in a big range.
Agriculture is the backbone of almost all the economies of the Asian continent. Pakistan is no different with agriculture exports earning the maximum amount of revenues for the country. Scholars of the nation have dubbed agriculture as the backbone of the country which is very essential for the growth and development of its people. They have urged the government authorities to pay more attention to the problems of the farmers and to provide subsidies on agricultural inputs and to supply them with loans.
