Charts illustrate long-term disparities between Pakistan and other regions, comparing growth in agriculture, industry and services. The research outlines the driving factors in the rapidly changing nature and context of agriculture globally. In contrast, small family farms remain dominant in Pakistan and the 2010 census analysis reveals a massive rise in the number of small and very small farms.
