[Salman]

Federal Minister for National Food Security and Research, Sikandar Hayat Khan Bosan stated that the agriculture sector contributes 23 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and around 45 percent of the work force is directly or indirectly related to the agriculture sector for its livelihood.

Therefore, it should be a matter of concern for all Pakistanis that the agricultural productivity is very low in Pakistan so it is the need for improving agriculture production system on scientific lines to enhance sustainable food production. He emphasized the importance of developing new products and technologies to promote agriculture sector and also said that there is dire need for promotion of agro-sector by concentrating on crop enhancement.

Moreover, dams are the need of the hour and we must focus on developing as many dams as possible in the country to promote agriculture sector.
