Production Problems in the Agricultural Sector in Pakistan:

Water Scarcity and Irrigation Challenges: Pakistan's agriculture heavily relies on irrigation, but the country faces water scarcity due to factors
such as limited water resources, inefficient water management, and outdated irrigation systems. This leads to suboptimal water use, reduced
crop yields, and overall productivity losses.

Land Degradation and Soil Health Issues: Land degradation is a significant challenge in Pakistan, caused by factors such as soil erosion, salinity,
and improper land management practices. These issues result in decreased soil fertility, reduced crop yields, and long-term sustainability
concerns.

Outdated Farming Techniques and Technology Gaps: Many farmers in Pakistan still employ traditional farming methods that are less efficient
and yield lower productivity. Limited access to modern machinery, quality seeds, and innovative agricultural technologies further exacerbate
the problem, hampering agricultural productivity and growth.
Limited Access to Credit and Finance: Small-scale farmers often face difficulties in accessing credit and finance, restricting their ability to invest
in modern agricultural inputs, such as high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and machinery. This financial constraint hampers their productivity and
prevents them from adopting advanced farming practices.

Pest and Disease Management: Crop pests and diseases pose significant threats to agricultural production in Pakistan. Inadequate pest and
disease management practices, including the improper use of pesticides and limited knowledge about integrated pest management
techniques, result in yield losses and reduced profitability for farmers.

Climate Change Impacts: Pakistan is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including irregular rainfall patterns, increased
frequency of extreme weather events, and rising temperatures. These changes disrupt agricultural production, affect crop yields, and require
adaptation strategies to build resilience in the sector.

Marketing and Value Chain Inefficiencies: Limited market access, inadequate infrastructure for storage and transportation, and a lack of
efficient value chain linkages pose challenges for farmers
