2 Exploring CPEC Opportunities in Agriculture PRESENTED BY: NAVEED ALAM QURESHI

3 GOLDEN WORDS At present, the two sides are working together to steadily advance the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Committed to building a China- Pakistan community of common destiny, we cooperate to expand our converging interests and strive for common development. Our aim is to deliver even more benefits to our peoples and realise brighter development prospects. XI JINPING President

4 CHINA-PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR (CPEC) 4

5 PAKISTAN: ECONOMY (TOTAL G.D.P = USD Billion) USD B Others 79.1% Agriculture 20.9% USD B *Economic Survey of Pakistan

6 Status of Agriculture in Pakistan An Agricultural Country with, Land Area: 79 Million Hectares vs. Cropped Area 22.4 Million Hectares (29%) Significant Channel of Exports to Central Asian Countries Middle Eastern Countries African Countries

7 CROP DATA Pakistan is World s 4 th Largest Producer of Fiber Crop 7 th Largest Producer of Wheat 11 th Largest Producer of Sugarcane 13 th Largest Producer of Rice 13 th Largest Producer of Citrus Fruit 16 th Largest Producer of Cereal 16 th Largest Producer of Pulses 21 st Largest Producer of Oil Crops 21 st Largest Producer of Fruit 24 th Largest Producer of Vegetables 24 th Largest Producer of Jute and Jute Like Products (Food and Agriculture Organization, United Nations)

8 Rising Needs (Current vs. Forecasts) Current Population of Pakistan: Million Population Growth Rate: 1.82% By 2025, Population will Surpass 225 Million Crop Current Yield 2015 Required Yield by 2025 Wheat 2.78 Tonnes/Hectare 3.41 Tonnes/Hectare Cotton (Lint) 0.80 Tonnes/Hectare 1.05 Tonnes/Hectare Rice (Milled) 2.42 Tonnes/Hectare 2.92 Tonnes/Hectare Sugarcane Tonnes/Hectare Tonnes/Hectare

9 Market Opportunities in CPEC To increase the crop yield ; Qualitative and Quantitative Requirements Increasing Consumption of Insecticides More requirements of Micronutrients High Labor Costs increasing the use of herbicides Climate change has increased seed borne, soil borne & air borne diseases so more fungicides required Due to Changing Scenario of Climate & pest, new Chemistries for Pesticides are Required Simplified Process of Registration of Pesticides Manufacturing Units and Products is launched to attract foreign companies

10 Market Opportunities in CPEC Government Initiatives to Enhance Agriculture Production Financing Priorities Focusing on setting and maintaining Agriculture Finance Department in Banks EU-GSP Status of Pakistan Duty Free Exports of Commodities to 28 European Union Nations

11 AGROCHEMICALS Pesticides have Contributed Significantly in Raising Agricultural Yield Hence, Pesticide Industry is Experiencing Remarkable Growth in Both Quantity and Value Quantity Imports in 2001 (47,592 Tonnes) vs (71267 Tonnes); (49% Increase) (Department of Plant Protection, Karachi, Pakistan) Value Imports in 2001 (73.83 Million USD) vs ( Million USD); (78% Increase) (Department of Plant Protection, Karachi, Pakistan)

12 Insect Pest Scenario Major Insects in Pakistan Insects Crops Major Insecticides Jassid Cotton, Vegetables Nitenpyram, Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam Whitefly Cotton, Potato, Vegetables Pyriproxyfen, Acetamiprid, Buprofezin, Diafenthiuran Thrips Cotton, Vegetables Chlorfenapyr, Spinosad, Acephate, Dimethoate Mites Aphid Cotton, Vegetables Maize, Cotton, Tobacco, Potato, Vegetables Pyridaben, Clofentezine,, Hexythiazox, Azocyclotin, Propargite Pymetrozine, Acetamiprid, Imidacloprid

13 Insect Pest Scenario Major Insects in Pakistan Insects Crops Major Insecticides American Bollworm Borers Armyworm Potato, Vegetable Maize, Sugarcane, Rice Maize, Potato, Cotton, Vegetables Indoxacarb, Emamectin, Chlopyrifos Carbofuran, Cartap, Fipronil, Fenobucarb Chlorfenapyr, Lufenuron, Methoxyfenozide, Emamectin

14 Disease Scenario Major Diseases in Pakistan Crop Diseases Crops Major Fungicides Downy Mildew Powdery Mildew Bacterial Diseases Vegetables Vegetables, Orchards Rice, Potato, Vegetables, Citrus Metalaxyl, Chlorothalonil, Mancozeb, Metiram, Propineb, Procymidone Myclobutanil, Flusilazole, Hexaconazole, Tebuconazole, Penconazole Kasugamycin, Copper Oxycloride, Validamycin

15 Disease Scenario Major Diseases in Pakistan Crop Diseases Crops Major Fungicides Anthrancnose, Botrytis, Leaf Spot Vegetables Kresoxim Methyl, Pyrimethanil, Thiophanate Methyl, Difenconazole, Azoxystrobin Early and Late Blight Potato, Tomato, Vegetables Propamocarb, Metalaxyl, Chlorothalonil, Mancozeb, Metiram, Propineb, Dimethomorph, Cymoxanil, Procymidone Blast Rice Fenoxanil, Thiophanate Methyl, Tricyclazole

16 Weed Profile Crops Wheat Maize Rice Cotton Sugarcane Vegetables Major Weeds in Pakistan Major Weeds Cirsium arvense, Convolvulus arvensis, Lathyrus Aphaca, Avena Fatua, Phalaris Minor Dactyloctenum aegyptium, Scirpus maritimus, Trianthema portulacastrum, Amaranthus viridis Cyperus Difformis, Scirpus Maritimus, Sphenoclea Zeylanica, Echinochloa crusgalli, Marsilia Minuta Convolvulus arvensis, Cynodon Dactylon, Digera Arvensis, Trianthema Portulacastrum Scirpus Maritimus, Chenopodium Murale, Chenopodium Album, Cynodon Dactylon, Trianthema Portulacastrum Phalaris Minor, Scirpus Maritimus, Cyperus Difformis, Trianthema Portulacastrum, Trianthema Portulacastrum

17 Weed Solutions Crops Wheat Major Weed Solutions Major Weedicides Tribenuron Methyl, Fluroxypyr, Metsulfuron Methyl, Clopyralid, Bromoxynil, MCPA, Trisulfuron, Sulfosulfuron, Pinoxaden Maize Rice Cotton Sugarcane Nicosulfuron, Atrazine, Propisochlor, Mesotrione, Halosulfuron Bispyribac Sodium, Bensulfuran Methyl, Pyrazosulfuran Ethyl, Quinlorac, Ethoxysulfuron, Butachlor Pendimethalin, Butralin, Acetochlor, Quizalofop p ethyl, Fluazifop p butyl, Haloxyfop r methyl, Glyphosate Atrazine, Mesotrione, Ametryn, Halosulfuron Methyl

18 Export Opportunities in CPEC Under Current System, All Exports from China to Middle Eastern and African Countries are Routed via Sea This Export Channel Takes Days Ranging from Days resulting in High Financial Cost More Time More Expenses Exploring CPEC Opportunities

19 CHINA TRADE ROUTE BEFORE CPEC

20 Export Opportunities in CPEC Opening of Gawadar Port will provide Easy Connection to Central Asian Countries Middle Eastern Countries African Countries Europe China Benefits Reduce Time Required to Reach Karachi (Pakistan) and Middle Eastern Countries This will provide Chinese Exporters a New Lucrative Market

21 THE CPEC ROUTE This New Route will Benefit Chinese Exporter through: Time Saving Cost Saving Access to Major Agricultural Markets

22 OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHINA IN CPEC China s agricultural sector has achieved great successes and this is the best example for Pakistan to follow & adopt China will boost up its export of agricultural inputs (Pesticides, Fertilizers etc.) and agricultural products to Pakistan & beyond Import of agriculture machinery from China & then its domestic production will play a catalytic role in agricultural mechanization of Pakistan
