Punjab launches agricultural projects to support farmers with modern facilities
Punjab has launched multiple agricultural projects to provide farmers with modern facilities under one roof, including the Green Agri Mall and Services Company, smart farms, and research centres.
The inauguration ceremonies in Kundian and Shapur were attended by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir.
Federal ministers Rana Tanveer Hussain and Dr Musadik Malik, along with provincial ministers and senior officials, were also present.
The Green Agri Mall will offer farmers quality seeds, fertilisers, and pesticides at subsidised rates. Modern agricultural machinery, including drones, will be available for rent, ensuring all farming needs are met under one platform.
A 5,000-acre smart farm, equipped with modern irrigation and farming techniques, was also launched to promote sustainable agriculture and higher yields with lower costs.
The agricultural research centre will provide soil testing, laboratory services, and serve as a hub for agricultural education and research across Pakistan.
Maryam Nawaz highlighted that the projects mark the beginning of an agricultural revolution in Punjab, ensuring farmers' growth and Pakistan's prosperity. She also distributed land allotment letters to children of martyrs and injured veterans.
In his address, the Army Chief Gen Asim Munir said Punjab has become Pakistan's agricultural powerhouse. He said the leadership role of Punjab and its farmers in modern agriculture is commendable.
General Syed Asim Munir appreciated the efforts and successes made under the Punjab government's Green Corporate project in a short time, describing them as encouraging and a harbinger of progress.
He said the army will continue to fully support the country's economic development.

Agri resources: PKRC urges govt to abandon corporate farming
LAHORE: The Pakistan Kissan Rabita Committee (PKRC) termed the '2025 Economic Survey' a wake-up call and called upon the government to abandon corporate farming and military control over agricultural resources and redistribute public agricultural lands among landless farmers, especially women and youth in plots of up to 12.5 acres. PKRC General Secretary Farooq Tariq, while commenting on Economic Survey of Pakistan 2024-25, said according to the survey, the agriculture sector recorded a meagre growth rate of just 0.56–0.6 percent in the past year - the lowest in the last nine years. Without the moderate growth in livestock (4.72%), fisheries (1.42%), and forestry (3.3%), the dismal performance of major crops would have dragged the overall sector into even deeper decline. The most staggering drop occurred in major crops, whose collective production fell by 13.49 percent. Cotton suffered a massive 30.7 percent decline with its cultivated area shrinking by 15.7 percent. Cotton ginning was also declined by 19 percent, compounding the crisis. Wheat production declined by 8.9 percent, primarily because the government, despite earlier promises, refused to purchase wheat from farmers at PKR 3,900 per 40 kg, leaving growers in despair. Other critical crops like sugarcane, rice, and maize also registered declines ranging from one percent to 15 percent. In December 2024, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz claimed that wheat had been cultivated on 16.5 million acres—achieving 82 percent of the province's target. However, ground realities have proven otherwise. All major farmer organizations had already criticized the government's failure to procure wheat at the promised support price and warned that growers were abandoning wheat cultivation. Instead of acknowledging its policy failures, the government blames climate change: erratic monsoons, delayed sowing, and extreme heat. But the reality is that the government's neoliberal agricultural policies have failed miserably. By exposing farmers to the whims of the free market and refusing to implement meaningful protections, these policies have caused a steep drop in production, Farooq Tariq added. He said for the first time, the survey admits that cultivated area has decreased - especially for cotton and wheat. This has had a direct impact on national food security. Agriculture contributes 23–24% to Pakistan's GDP and provides employment to 37 percent of the workforce. A crisis in this sector affects the entire economy. Suggesting ways to strengthen the agricultural sector, PKRC General Secretary also proposed a ban on new canals, particularly those impacting the Indus River system, legal implementation of Minimum Support Prices (MSP), starting with wheat at PKR 4,000 per 40kg and a ban on private wheat imports and strengthening PASSCO for public procurement. He also called for accountability for the wheat crisis, including arrest and investigation of hoarders and speculators, regulation of agricultural markets to prevent price volatility, rejecting IMF and WTO policies that undermine farmers; rebuilding public procurement systems and ensuring real access to interest-free loans for small farmers, while excluding agri-businesses and banks from subsidies.

Brain drain: Pakistan lost 727,381 workers to overseas employment in 2024
The Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment (BE&OE) and the Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) registered 727,381 workers for overseas employment, according to The Economic Survey 2024-25 as unveiled by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb on Monday. According to BE&OE, more than 62 percent (452,562) of Pakistani workers moved to Saudi Arabia for employment, followed by Oman (11 percent), to earn a living. UAE employed 64,130 Pakistani workers (9 percent) while Qatar offered jobs to 40,818 individuals (6 percent). Bahrain and Malaysia hosted 25,198 workers (3 percent) and 5,790 workers (1 percent), respectively. In 2024, the highest number of workers who moved away from Pakistan for work originated from Punjab (404,345), followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (187,103), Sindh (60,424), and Tribal areas (29,937). The Economic Survey also failed to calculate the unemployment rate for the current year. Pakistan missed its GDP growth target of 3.6% in the outgoing fiscal year, posting a figure of 2.7%, revealed the Economic Survey 2024-25. The skill composition of Pakistani emigrants in 2024 continues to be dominated by unskilled and semi-skilled labour, with relatively low representation from mid to highly-skilled professionals. According to the data, 50 percent of emigrants are categorized as unskilled (366,092), while 35 percent (255,706) are skilled workers. Although there has been a slight decline compared to 2023, unskilled labour remains in high demand globally, particularly in the areas of construction, domestic work, and agriculture. Earlier this year, Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir stated that the country's global diaspora constitutes not 'brain drain' but rather a crucial 'brain gain', according to a statement from the military's media release. While addressing a convention, the army chief said that those peddling the 'brain drain' myth should know this is actually brain gain, adding that the overseas community exemplifies this brilliantly. Brain drain in Pakistan: causes, consequences and way forward The total population of Pakistan according to Seventh Population and Housing Census (2023) has reached 241.5 million; growing at 2.55 percent annually. The population comprises 124.32 million (51.5%) males and 117.15 million (48.5) females. A significant share of Pakistan's population is young, with 26% aged 15-29 years, while 53.8% fall within the working-age group of 15-59 years. This demographic dividend presents a unique opportunity for economic expansion and development. Brain drain is a growing concern for developing countries like Pakistan, as these countries invest heavily in the education and training of their youth.
