Abstract

The TFP for crops in Punjab and Sindh stood at about 1% per annum, while that for KP was 0.36% and livestock TFP in KP was noted to be highest of all, which may be due to KP’s scarcity of land requiring heavy reliance on livestock. The producers in Balochistan achieved the highest TFP growth rate of more than 5% per annum for crops, which may be attributed to additional canal water provided to Balochistan in 1990.

Keywords: Crop and livestock, productivity, Provinces, TFP.
