Old Types of Agricultural
Instruments
In small field’s modern equipment
cannot be used. Due to poverty we cannot use modern equipment. Tractors are not
commonly used. We do not know much about modern equipments and scientific
methods of agriculture hence production per acre less.
Reforms
Our farmers should know about the
modern research in the field and should adopt modern scientific methods of
agriculture.
Lack of Agricultural Education
Due to lack of modern education, our
farmers use old methods and equipments. They do not use new seeds and
fertilizers.
Reforms
Farmers should be educated through
print and electronic media about agriculture.
Limited Area
The reason of less agricultural
production is that our farmers have little amount of land. This is because the
number of farmers is increasing with the increase in population.
Reforms
The scattered pieces of land should
be converted into big units.
Barren Land
There is very little rainfall in our
country. It rainfall is in the time and enough we can get enough crops.
Reforms
There should be introduced reforms
in the system of irrigation. New canals should be dug.
Problems of Water Logging and
Salinity
It is the major problem of Pakistan
especially in certain parts of Sindh. Most parts of Sindh are suffering from
this disease. According to an estimate about one lac acre land has become
useless due to this problem.
Reforms
There should be planned programmes
on national level to reduce this danger.
Insects and Crop Disease
In our lands insects and crops
diseases destroy plenty of our crops.
Reforms
Pesticides should be sprayed at the
proper time. There should be research work on drops to control these diseases.
Cutting Action on Land
It happens due to storms and heavy
rainfall.
Reforms
There should be special arrangements
for this problem and chemical fertilizers should be used to enhance the
fertility of the soil.
Inferior Seeds and Fertilizers
Our farmers are not familiar with
the methods of preserving seeds and using the right amount of fertilizers.
Shortage of Money
Due to lack of money average
production is much effected. Our farmers are under the influence of loans so
they cannot give full intention to their props. They are always worried about
the return of loans.
Reforms
If our farmers get loan on less
credit and on easy soft conditions.
Zamindara System
This system in Pakistan has many
defects. Land owners hand over their land to tenant who do not take interest in
producing more crops. They link that the main part of their crop will be taken
by the owner of the land. This effects our average produce very badly.
Reforms
Landlords should take interest in
the business. Tenants should be given proper profit and right.
Lack of Medical Facilities
Our farmers are often found
suffering from certain medical problems. He is often offering from various
diseases due to low standard of living.
Reforms
There must be enough hospitals in
the village from the farmers should get proper medical facilities.
Transportation Problems
By insufficient means of
transportation farmers cannot bring their production to markets at the right
time.
Reforms
Means of transportation should be
improved and go downs in a large number are being constructed.
