Pakistan’s agriculture sector contributed approximately 23-25% of GDP throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, underscoring its role as a backbone of the economy. The gradual decline after 2005 reflects the growth of services and industry, although agriculture remains crucial for employment. The increase to 23.8% in 2011 aligns with favorable weather conditions and demand for key crops.
Agriculture’s share stabilized around 22% in recent years, with a rise to 22.7% in 2021. This reflects resilience amid economic changes and highlights agriculture's ongoing role in ensuring food security for Pakistan’s growing population.
