I strongly oppose taxing the agriculture sector
farming community is always grind by everyone

only 4 % of credit is proceeded to agriculture sector that accounts for 23% of GDP resulting in farmers to be under the burden of loans at high markup on inputs like fertlizer, seed, pesticides

Shortage of water resulting in loss to farmers

in case water pumps/turbines are use for irrigation..........load shedding

In case desiel engines are used to pump underground water...rising prices
of diesel

In case credit is provided for inputs by agri banks...low quality of seed and adultrated fertilizer/pesticides

worlds poorest agri extention system to train farmers in latest technology

initially retailers/middlemen/munufactors loot the farmer in availing them the inputs i.e seed, oil, fertilizer, pesticides by earning profit on purchase, then by imposing high mark up on credit sale

then at the time of purchase low price of produce, and he is treated so inhumanly at the time of marketing........as is being experienced for wheat procuurent currently
At the time of marketing traders and mill/factories secure maximum profit

then should Govt. impose taxes........
Would it be justifiable to poor farmers
Would it encourage or discourage the main sector of pakistani economy
What should do....
