Land holdings in Pakistan are high inequitable with 2% of farmers owning 45% of all agriculture land while 98% owning the remaining 55%. However, building up an export oriented manufacturing and services sector will take effort, time and investment. Demand for high value products, both crops and livestock, is rising rapidly both inside Pakistan and in the region. One way this is happening is through the creation of production clusters — a geographic area specialising in one particular crop. Similar developments are taking place in the livestock sector with specialised production units of 5-50 dairy animals cropping up in and around urban centres.
