Every developing country has
one or two major sectors from where he can earn foreign exchange, for Pakistan
main sector which contributes to export is agriculture. Every government tried
to boost up this sector with its own policies and for my readers we have three 3
green revolution programmes by three governments, without going into details of
these programmes the bottom line is that these had not been implemented
according to their souls.
In an economic theory from underdevelopment to development there are 3 phases in
first phase you have to develop infrastructure, in second phase you have to
develop agriculture sector, and in third phase you have to enter into
establishing your industries. If we look into the history of Pakistan we are
confused among these three phases.
At one end we are developing our agriculture sector and doing water reforms act
and at the other end we are bearing heavy imports and expending heavy foreign
exchange to prove to the worlds that we are developing nation in the result we
have lost our major industries like textile and others. So both ends are not
working according to the desires, we should have our main focus on one end to
get the goal.
Now there is a key point for the economic progress, there is a saying of a
economist that foreign investors are like birds they start sitting on the tree
very slowly if you will make noise they will flow away.
But as we see our politicians are making noise in these days for there personal
gains we can invite these sparrows like investors to invest in our countries
until there is a political stability. So root cause of the economic decline is
our unstable political scene.
