Farmers in Pakistan continue to produce maize under various types of risks and adopt several strategies manage those risks. This study is the first attempt investigate factors affecting concurrent adoption off-farm income diversification agricultural credit which farmers use risk production. We apply bivariate multinomial probit approaches primary data collected from four districts Punjab Province Pakistan. The results show that strong correlations exist between indicates one management...
Hybrid maize farmers have to face diverse kinds of climate, biological, price and financial risks. Farmers' risk perceptions attitudes are essential elements influencing farm operations management decisions. However, this important issue has been overlooked in the contemporary studies therefore there is a dearth literature on issue. The present research therefore, an attempt fill gap. This study aims quantify hybrid farmers' disastrous risks, their towards explore impacts various household...
Present research project was conducted to investigate the protease production by gram positive Bacillus species and their role in dehairing of animal hides. Proteases are widely employed as they have replaced use conventional chemical based methods ecofriendly, easy cultivate high productivity rate. Experimental work September, 2022 July, 2023. 25 agricultural soil samples were collected from different local areas Haripur subjected isolation purification strains using LB media. Out samples,...
Efforts to sustain the global food system are suffering from serious challenge of agricultural vulnerability climate change.The current study is aimed at exploring relation among yields major crops (wheat, rice and maize), change (temperature rainfall), technical progress (fertilizer machinery) in Pakistan.In this regard, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model employed using time series data over a period 1989 2015.To determine co-integration, bound F-test results validate equilibrium...
Zinc (Zn) is a fundamental micronutrient required by all living organisms. Zn deficiency among children under 5 years, pregnant, and child-bearing women has been identified in developing countries such as Pakistan. Biofortified crops can increase levels decrease deficiencies. Meanwhile, consumer acceptance essential, given that genetic alterations occur during biofortification, resulting changes sensory traits the quality of grains. Therefore, present study focuses on determining factors for...
Use of solid fuel for cooking is one the major sources household indoor air pollution, especially in developing countries.Around 3 billion people still cook and heat their homes using open fires leaky stoves, burning biomass fuel, i.e., wood, crop residues, animal dung, wood charcoal coal as primary source domestic energy.The present study was conducted to assess perceived level health risks rural households associated with pollution caused by (cleaner solid) fuels.For this purpose, data...
Pakistan is an agrarian economy confronting both risk and uncertainty. Rural migration to urban off-farm work increasing in the country. Off-farm assists decreasing uncertainty while technical efficiency linked with employment. This research effort aims at investigating underpinnings of production characteristics, risk, across categories rice farmers, i.e., without work, by developing two stochastic frontier models. Empirical results reveal that groups farmers are using inputs different...
This study is a contribution to empirics of climate change and economic growth in Pakistan. considered annual data from 1980 2013. intends use the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita current US Dollars. The proxy used for investment fixed capital formation (GFCF). GFCF total amount TRADE trade one year as percentage GDP. CO2 carbon dioxide emissions (kt). We performed an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bound testing design measure long-run well short-run association with growth....
The objective of this paper is to measure the technical, allocative and economic efficiencies sugarcane farms in Pakistan. These are measured by data envelopment analysis method using farm level collected from 333 growers Pakistan 2008. results show that average technical efficiency 75 percent, 83 cost 62 percent. indicate can reduce costs production 38 percent produce same output inputs optimal proportion improving efficiency. also existing potentially be increased 33.33 with farms.
Climate change is expected to have impacts on plants, crops, and insect pests, pose substantial pressures sustainable food security. This research investigates the impact of weather changes production cotton crops in Sindh, Pakistan by analyzing both short-term long-term effects. Hence employing annual time-series data 58 years from 1961 2018 explore causal relationship between climate variables specifically production. For this purpose Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test was applied...
Utilizing the ARIMA model, this investigation explores growth patterns of apple farming regions and outputs in Pakistan between 1959-60 to 2019-20. Moreover, it predicts future trends from 2021 2030. This study aims provide an all-encompassing evaluation projection, particularly regarding as a significant contributor horticultural sector Pakistan's economy. The purpose is assist decision-makers by offering insightful guidance based on pivotal role agriculture. utilized time series data...
Farmers must base their decisions on an informed understanding of risk perception and attitude to navigate the numerous challenges associated with agricultural operations. Nonetheless, there is a lack sufficient research be found in countries like Pakistan cope such risks pragmatically agriculture. As result, purpose this fill void by examining how Pakistani farmers perceive respond In Sindh province, we interviewed 480 households eight districts. Multi-stage stratified cluster sampling...
The purpose of the current study was to assess allocative, technical, and economic efficiency wheat crop produced in Punjab. Primary data were collected through a well-structured questionnaire. efficiencies estimated by DEA technique using farm level gathered from 240 growers Rajanpur district Punjab, Pakistan. According results show that mean technical is about 70%, allocative 74%, cost 52%. findings revealed Pakistani farms could minimize production costs up 30% ensure same production,...
The purpose of this research is to find the foremost constraints that were involved in olive production as well marketing. present study carried out four districts Punjab province, Pakistan with a focus on growers using cross-sectional data 112 farmers. Our findings showed high nursery prices, labour wages, limited access latest technology, lack technical workers and water availability found most important Pothohar, Pakistan. In process marketing olives, Lack proper market information,...
Cereal grains have been considered as the primary source of human diet for centuries. The present study tends to investigate trends, instability and growth in cereal crops Pakistan. Using times series data from 1951 2020 (70 years). Linear, quadratic, exponential models were used forecast find best-fitted model. Also, Coppock’s Instability Index was measured area production selected Results indicate that wheat, rice maize showed a positive trend. While bajra (millet) jowar (sorghum) depicted...
