Agricultural Innovation

Sustainable Transformation of innovation in agriculture sector is called development.

Agriculture Sector Development means market expansion and poverty alleviation of 70% population of Pakistan by providing food security to 200 Million people.

INNOVATIONS IN AGRICULTURE BY PRIVATE SECTOR • SEED DEVELOPMENT

• GM TRANSFORMATION

• FERTILIZER USE AND PRODUCTION

• CROP PROTECTION

• CROP PRODUCTION

• TEXTILE, SUGAR, RICE & OIL MILLS

• FARM MACHINERY

• VALUE ADDITION

SEED DEVELOPMENT

SEED DEVELOPMENT BEFORE 1994 THE SEED WAS IN PUBLIC SECTOR PROVIDING CERTIFIED

SEEDS TO LIMITED AREA.

IN 1994 THE PRIVATE SECTOR CAME IN AND TOOK THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MULTIPLYING THE SEED OF APPROVED VARIETIES AND ENSURED THE SUPPLY TO FARMERS AS CERTIFIED SEEDS.

TODAY MORE THAN 100 SEED COMPANIES ARE SERIOUSLY INVOLVED IN PRODUCTION OF CERTIFIED OP,HYBRID AND GMO SEEDS.

RESULTANTLY CROPS STAND IMPROVED AND YEILD INCRESED ON MAJOR CROPS.

FERTILIZER

FERTILIZER BEFORE PRIVATIZATION THE USE OF FERTILIZER WAS LIMITED AND

EMPHASIS WAS ON NITROGENOUS FERTILIZERS.

THE PRIVATE SECTOR POPULARIZED THE USE OF BALANCED FERTILIZER INCLUDING PHOSPHATIC AND POTASH AS WELL.

THE USE OF FERTILIZER INCREASED MANY FOLDS AND PRODUCTION OF CROPS INCREASED SIMULTANEOUSLY.

THE PRIVATE SECTOR INTRODUCED FOR THE FIRST TIME THE USE OF MICRO NUTRIENTS IN2004 TO MEET THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF PLANTS TO GET HIGHER YIELD.

MICRO FERTILIZERS INDUSTRY

THE USE OF MICRO FERTILIZERS IN CROP AND HORTICULTURE

FRUITS STARTED IN 2004.

THE PRIVATE SECTOR RIGHTLY IDENTIFIED THE DEFICIENCIES OF OM,

ZINC, BORON AND FERROUS IN OUR SOILS. SOLUTIONS WERE

PROVIDED TO FARMERS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND YIELD OF

FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND FIELD CROPS.

RESULTANTLY QUALITY PRODUCTION INCREASED.

CROP PROTECTION

CROP PROTECTION BEFORE PRIVATIZATION OF PESTICIDE IMPORTS IN 1985 ,THE TOTAL

AREA UNDER PLANT PROTECTION WAS ONLY 16% OF COTTON.

WITH THE INDUCTION OF PRIVATE SECTOR THE SPRAYED AREAS ENHANCED TO ALMOST 100% IN MAJOR CROPS AND INCREASED THE YIELD.

BEFORE PRIVATIZATION THE YIELD OF COTTON WAS 700 KG/ HECTARE. AFTER PRIVATIZATION THE YIELD INCREASED IN THREE YEARS PERIOD TO 1800 KG/HECTARE WHICH IS NOW 2600 KG/HECTARE.

OUR PROGRESSIVE FARMERS ARE TAKING 4000KG/HECTARE TO 7000KG/HECTARE. THIS IS THE REAL POTENTIAL PROVIDED BY PRIVATE SECTOR TO FARMERS IN COTTON CROP.

125 FORMULATION PLANTS FOR PESTICIDES, HERBICIDE, GRANULES WERE ESTABLISHED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR .

ONE MANUFACTURING PLANT OF PESTICIDE FOR THE FIRST TIME ESTABLISHED IN PRIVATE SECTOR IN 2006.

TODAY 125 COMPANIES ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN DIRECT PESTICIDES SALE.

CROP PROTECTION

IMPORTS OF PESTICIDES BY PRIVATE SECTOR IN PAKISTAN

CROP PRODUCTION

CROP PRODUCTION THE PRIVATE SECTOR INTRODUCED HYBRID SEED OF

COTTON,RICE,MAIZE,SUNFLOWER,CANOLA AND VEGETABLES.

MANY COMPANIES HAVE STARTED R&D PROGRAM TO DEVELOP NEW VARIETIES. TODAY MAJOR COTTON VARIETIES PLANTED BOTH IN PUNJAB AND SINDH ARE FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR

(SOME FARMERS ARE CLAIMING AS HIGH AS MORE THAN 8.00MT OF COTTON, 12.00 MT OF RICE, 10.00 MT OF MAIZE, 100.00 MT OF SUGAR CANE per hectare AND SO ON.).

SIMILAR BREAKTHROUGH HAS BEEN MADE IN VEGETABLES. OIL SEED CROPS LIKE SUNFLOWER AND CANOLA PRODUCTION IS ALL DUE TO PRIVATE SECTOR.

TUNNEL FARMING INNOVATED BY PRIVATE SECTOR HAS BEEN ADOPTED

BY MANY FARMERS.

DUE TO TUNNEL FARMING VEGETABLES ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH OUT

THE YEAR.

FARM INCOME INCREASED MANY FOLDS.

CROP PRODUCTION

PRIVATE SECTOR INNOVATIONS INCREASED THE PRODUCTION OF COTTON

AND NOW PAKISTAN IS FOURTH LARGEST PRODUCER OF COTTON BY

PRODUCING 15 MILLION BALES IN 2014.

TODAY PAKISTAN IS LARGEST EXPORTER OF YARN . THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE

EARNING FROM COTTON INCREASED FROM FOUR BILLION DOLLAR TO

FIFTEEN BILLION DOLLAR DUE TO VALUE ADDITION.

CROP PRODUCTION

FARM MACHINERY

FARM MACHINERY THE PRIVATE SECTOR ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGES OF CROP

PRODUCTION HAS INTRODUCED PLANTERS FOR SOWING, HARVESTING MACHINES AND PROCESSING MACHINES, LIKE THRESHERS.

RECENTLY MAIZE HARVESTERS WERE INTRODUCED ALONG WITH SILAGE MACHINES WHICH NOT ONLY HARVEST THE CROP BUT ALSO CHOP THEM INTO SUITABLE SIZE FOR SILAGE.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF WHEAT THRESHER IS ONE OF THE BEST EFFORTS OF OUR ENGINEERS AND MECHANICS.

DUE TO THESE MACHINES THE CROP HARVESTING HAS BEEN EXPEDITED AND SAVED THE PRODUCE FROM WEATHERING DEMAGES.

FARM MACHINERY PLANT PROTECTION MACHINERY WAS DEVELOPED ACCORDING TO THE

NEEDS OF THE FARMERS.

HAND SPRAYERS FOR SMALL FARMERS AND TRACTOR MOUNTED

SPRAYERS FOR LARGE FARMERS.

BOOM SPRAYERS FOR ORCHARDS WERE DEVELOPED.

SIMILARLY SUGAR CANE PLANTERS, POTATO SEEDER, FERTILIZER

BROADCASTERS WERE ALL DEVELOPED LOCALLY BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR

ON THE REQUIREMENT OF FARMERS.

Agricultural Expenditure

INTERVENTION FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

CAPACITY BUILDING OF PUBLIC SECTOR TO PLAY A ROLE OF REGULATOR.

PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO PRIVATE SECTOR TO INVEST FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

GOVT. SHOULD SUPPORT AGRICULTURE SECTOR TO ALLIVIATE POVERTY OF 70% POPULATION.

THE DUTY AND TAXES ON AGRI INPUTS SHOULD BE IN LINE WITH THE NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES WHICH DIRECTLY INFLUENCE THE MARKET PRICE OF EVERY CROP.

THANK YOU!
