Pakistan’s proposed federal budget for the upcoming fiscal year has drawn criticism for largely overlooking the agriculture sector, a vital component of the nation’s economy. Despite contributing significantly to GDP and employing a large portion of the workforce, agriculture received minimal attention in budgetary allocations. Experts and stakeholders express concern that this neglect will exacerbate existing challenges faced by farmers, including rising input costs and climate change impacts. The budget lacks specific measures to address crucial issues like water management, seed quality, and market access for agricultural produce. Provincial governments are expected to play a more significant role in supporting the sector, but federal funding limitations may hinder their efforts. This perceived indifference towards agriculture raises fears of reduced yields, increased food insecurity, and further economic hardship for rural communities. The lack of investment is predicted to negatively impact Pakistan’s overall economic growth and export potential.
