Pakistan has a total land area of 79.6 million hectares, of which about 22.1 million hectares is cultivated. The major crops include wheat, cotton, rice and sugarcane. Together these account for 33 per cent of the value added in agriculture and 7.1 per cent of the GDP. A succinct capture illustrates a gradual growth in cultivated land, an increase from 23.51 per cent in 1960 to 27.76 per cent in 2020 only, and further slowing of growth rate in recent decades. From 2000 to 2020, it increased by only 0.0085 points per year. The population grew from 45 million in 1960 to over 220 million in 2020, creating demand for more farmland. However, Pakistan may be reaching its limit for expanding arable land. This highlights the need to improve productivity, implement sustainable land management and develop commercially scalable farming business models.
