“…The share of agricultural exports in overall Pakistan exports was 20% in 2014-15 and that was nineteen percent in 2013-14 (source: Economic survey). The empirical result of agricultural-exports is consistent with the studies of (Bashir, 2003;Nadeem, 2007;Anwar, 2010;Mahmood, 2010;and Malik, 2010). The results further reveal that agricultural-imports are positive and highly significant indicating that it may lead to an affirmative change of about 0.57% is consistent with the study of Sharif et al (2010) and Faridi (2012).…”

“…In 1990s, the increase in annual average export was 5.6% whereas imports increased by 3.2% shaping an average trade deficit of -0.6%. The share of agricultural goods was declining and recorded as nineteen percent of total exports which reduced further to twelve percent in 1999-2000 (Bashir, 2003). Likewise, the share of manufactured goods in overall exports rose to seventy-three percent in 1999-2000 from fifty-seven percent in 1990-91.…”

The vigorous and dynamic expansion and technical progression of the agriculture productivity pave the way to considerable achievements in providing raw materials to the industrial sector and fulfilling domestic demand. The agriculture sector has an imperative role in poverty reduction, growth, increased employment opportunities and increasing foreign exchange reserves through exportable agricultural products. In short, agriculture is the backbone of economic stability and development in the country. This study is an attempt to investigate the performance of the agriculture sector and its impact on Pakistans foreign trade. The findings of the study revealed the affirmative and noteworthy role of the agriculture sector in the foreign trade of Pakistan during 1980-2017. The policymakers and government of Pakistan should encourage private and public investors for agriculture investment to enhance the production and agricultural exports.

“…In line, Verter and Bečvářová ( 2016 ) examined the linkage between agricultural export and output growth for the period 1980–2012 by employing ordinary least squares (OLS) for Nigeria. The findings revealed that agricultural export enhances output growth while these result in the same line for instance (Abbas 2012 ; Quddus and Saeed 2005 ; Haleem et al 2005 ; Bashir and Din 2003 ; Shahbaz et al 2015 ) for Pakistan.…”

This paper examines the relationship between deagriculturalization, economic growth, and CO 2 emissions in Pakistan from the period 1975 to 2018 by employing a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model and Granger causality approach. The asymmetric ARDL findings show that there is a significant negative relationship between agriculturalization and economic growth, while deagriculturalization does not induce economic growth in the long run in Pakistan. Moreover, agriculturalization and deagriculturalization have a negative significant effect on Pakistan’s carbon emissions in the long run. This study concludes that the asymmetric results deviate from symmetric results in Pakistan. The asymmetric causality test shows unidirectional asymmetric causality running from agriculturalization, deagriculturalization, and CO 2 emissions. Moreover, agriculturalization and deagriculturalization do not Granger cause economic growth in Pakistan. Based on the results, the study stressed to formulate such policies which support economic growth and lower carbon emissions through reforming agriculture sector practices. These outcomes are very useful for Pakistan to formulate relevant policies.

“…Hudson and Ethridge (1998) estimated that Pakistan's cotton export has fallen by 58 per cent from 1988 to 1995, because of imposition of tax on export of cotton lint. According to Bashir (2003), Pakistan's agriculture export performance is enormously receptive to internal economic policies and trade reforms. Pakistan is expected to continue its competiveness in the free/preferential trading environment through quality production and marketing mechanism along with reduction in cost.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of trade integration on Pakistan’s export performance (value of exports, number of exporters and number of products per exporter) during 2003 to 2010. Design/methodology/approach Data from the World Bank Exporters Dynamics Database are analysed using fixed effect panel data techniques. Findings The results suggest that trade integration with South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA), China and Iran play remarkable role in improving export value by 73, 29 and 55 per cent, respectively. It is found that on average more than 140 and 339 exporters increase after integration with SAFTA and China, respectively, and during the study period, 1,605 and 606 exporters entered into SAFTA and Chinese market, respectively. Moreover, 182 and 146 additional exporters entered in Malaysian and Iranian export market after integration, which is 19 and 98 per cent, respectively, of initial year’s number of exporters. In addition, Malaysia and Mauritius show positive and considerable effect on diversification of product variety. Originality/value This is an original empirical research. The contributions of the paper are many fold: this paper is first to analyse the effect of Pakistan’s trade integration established during 2000s decade; pioneer contribution of this study is to use the number of exporters and number of products, as well as the value of exports to measure the export performance of Pakistan; and this study uses positive and negative discrepancies in export value data, number of HS6 products exported as a proxy of product diversification, share of industrial exports in total exports and share of textile exports in industrial exports.
