IntroductionIntroduction• Balochistan is the province which is facing a
great and vital problem i.e. “Refugees”a. From Afghanistan (International).b. From Iran (International).c. Punjab, Sindh & NWFP-Domestic pressure
of population and migration from other provinces in search of Job opportunities.

• Similarly the province was severely affected by long spell of drought (about 8 years). Which resulted the failure stories in the field of Agriculture and Livestock sectors.a. Almost 58% Agriculture sector was affected (Economic survey of Pakistan 2007).b. 73% Livestock sector was affected (Economic
survey of Pakistan 2007).

• Quetta is the city which was planned only for 50,000 Population. Now, the limit is crossed (approximately more then 2 Million)
• At the same time the population of the province was increased with an alarming ratio.
• To feed this huge population of the province along with the extra burden of the “Refugees” it is impossible to do so.
• Therefore more efforts are needed to be planed.

Family Size • The typical Pastoon & Baloch Culture never
allow them to keep the family size very limited or smaller.
• Ultimately, the average family size would be more then 7 or 8 person per family.

Why Food Crises in Balochistan(Agriculture & Livestock Sector)
Low productivity per unit area.Low yielding varieties of Crops + Fruits.Limited information about latest and
innovative Agriculture and Livestock.Lack of proper breeds of Livestock (Meat + Milk).

HOPE FOR BRIGHT FUTURE
a. (Agriculture: Crops + Fruits)b. (Livestock: Meat + Milk)
High yield verities of Crops. Better I.C.M. (integrated crop margent). Maximum production per unit. Tunnel Technology. Better utilization of available resources (Water + Soil +
Seed + Fertilizer + Pesticides) Maximum meat & Milk producing breeds of Livestock. Best utilization, management and supervision of grazing
areas in the province.

(with any local breed) milk producing. Narri master meat producing breed (F3) is introduced in the Province.
• Sheep Breeding (in cold zone)• Goat Breeding (in hot zone)
