The Sindh Southern Province of Pakistan is naturally divided in different zones and every zone offers excellent product potential of its own. The central cropping zone has been found suitable for crop cultivation and horticultural farms. The coastal and hilly areas are suitable for forest tourism and fishing. The arid zone boasts of great potential for live stock breeding and hunting grounds with range land forest. This paper tries to finds fundamental problems in live stock sector of Sindh with its performance and also suggests policy recommendations for further development of the sector. Study concludes that low level of feeding, traditional method of breeding, inadequate health facilities institutional mismanagements and low extent of markets and infrastructure is major obstacles in livestock sector growth and development.Keywords

Abstract Views :153 |
PDF Views:0
The paper aims to sort out fundamental problems in managing the irrigation water in the province, and to formulate a policy guideline for batter use of the natural resources in the agricultural economy of Sindh. The study explores the significance of a largely mismanaged canal irrigation system of the province and suggests modern tools and methods of managing the available resources. It also recommends some alternative water conservation strategies such as; use of under table water through tube wells, storage of rain water through construction of small dames and lining of natural ponds in arid zones of the province. These measures can lead to overcome the supply and demand side issues to some extent, necessary for sustainability of the process of agric-development in the region.

Having greater potential to produce food and fiber for its growing population, the Sindh province of Pakistan is facing dual crises in its water sector such as; declining water resources for irrigation which creates drought situation since 2000-2001 and the super floods in the year 2010 and 2011 in both northern and southern regions. About 89% of cropped area in the province is irrigated through canal system, the infrastructure damage and deprivation of cultivable land with standing water caused by these floods mainly due to institutional mismanagement has resulted in multi billion rupees loss to the agricultural sector with a significant decline in its growth. On the other hand, an inadequacy in the supply of irrigation water and its inefficient use forms a bottleneck on achievement of the desired results from complementary inputs.The paper aims to sort out fundamental problems in managing the irrigation water in the province, and to formulate a policy guideline for batter use of the natural resources in the agricultural economy of Sindh.

The main objective of the study is to discuses various paths of agric-development in details and also revisit Sindh agriculture sector to compare it in the light of empirical evidences of the field and also recommended Agric-Development Model for Sindh southern province of Pakistan. The study finds that theoretical model of agricultural development is in sharp contrast with empirical situation of Sindh agricultural sector and requires immediate attention of policy makers for implementation of suggested remedies mostly provided in Sindh Agric-development Model by the authors.This study recommended implementation of land reforms, water sector improvement, facilitating the forward and backward linkages between traditional agric sector and modern industrial sectors in the province with storage facilities; agro based industries at farm level and improved taxation system by computerized assessment and collection according to basic laws of taxation for the further development of Sindh's agriculture.
