Pakistan's agricultural economy, vital for national food security and textile exports, is challenged by rising farmer costs and stagnant incomes despite significant private sector business estimated at Rs150-220 billion. The current model, where corporate success is measured solely by sales, is unsustainable, leading to declining crop production like cotton. Experts advocate for a new policy framework, urging major agricultural companies to adopt Farmer Impact KPIs, partner with public research, and implement voluntary Farmer Income Impact Reporting to link corporate success with farmer prosperity. This shift is crucial for strengthening the overall economy, potentially impacting inflation and the stability of the Pakistani Rupee.
