Agriculture is Pakistan economy’s backbone; farming is the largest economic activity. Agriculture, and small-scale forestry and fishing, contributes about 25 percent of GDP while employs about 45 percent of the labor force.
Agricultural products, especially cotton yarn, cotton cloth, raw cotton, and rice, are important exports. Although there is agricultural activity in all areas of Pakistan, most crops are grown in the Indus River plain in Punjab and Sindh. Besides its great agricultural potential, Pakistan is still far from realizing the large potential yield.
