- Pakistan publishes its agriculture census, revealing the federation beneath our fields
Pakistan's 2024 Agricultural Census is the first to digitally combine agriculture, livestock, and farm machinery data. It reveals a 34% increase in farms (11.1 million) since 2010, with average farm size dropping from 6.4 to 5.3 acres due to land fragmentation, now affecting 4.98 million farms split into an average of seven parcels. The report highlights challenges like inheritance-driven fragmentation and gender injustice in land distribution.
