Answers
Explanation:
The economy of Balochistan, one of the four provinces of Pakistan, is largely based upon the production of natural gas, coal, and minerals. Agriculture and livestock also dominate the Baloch economy. Horticultural development is a fairly recent, yet growing phenomenon. Other important economic sectors include fisheries, mining, manufacturing industries, trade and other services being rendered by public and private sector organizations in the province.
Outside Quetta, the infrastructure of the province is gradually developing but still lags far behind other parts of the country. Tourism remains limited but has increased due to the exotic appeal of the province. Limited farming in the east as well as fishing along the southern Arabian Sea coastline are other forms of income and sustenance for the local populations. Due to the tribal lifestyle of many Baloch and Brahui people, animal husbandry is important, as are trading bazaars found throughout the province.
Though the province remains largely underdeveloped, there are currently several major development projects in progress in Balochistan, including the construction of a new deep sea port at the strategically important town of Gwadar. The port is projected to be the hub of an energy and trade corridor to and from China and the Central Asian republics.
Baluchistan is the largest province in the country of Pakistan.
The whole Baluchistan is divided into Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran but the big area comes in Pakistan.
Minerals like copper, gold, silver, zinc, lead, etc. are available in high amounts in Baluchistan.
In Baluchistan, if the mining industry will develop properly then it can gain a high amount of profit and its economy will rise.
Gwadar is a port situated in Baluchistan and uses for the transportation industry.
In this same province, a good source of water is available and fishing, as well as the agriculture industry, can also develop.
Baluchistan is a lack in development of fishing, mining, transportation, and agriculture industries.
hope this answers you question, if yes please mark me brainliest
Answer: Yes, Balochistan has a long coastal line where marine fishing is practiced at many ports on the Makran such as Jiwani, Gwadar, Pasni, Ormara and Sonmiani with great deep-sea potential if the latest technology was be used to develop the fishing industry. This would immensely boost the economy and will also satisfy the food requirement domestically and could be exported e.g. dry salted fish, shrimp etc. which would bring foreign exchange. Fruit farmers can be supplied with incentives / subsidies e.g. good seeds, pesticides, cold storage and modern packing facilities etc. A variety of fruits can then be available for the international market, or the surplus sent to other provinces. If the government provides new and effective irrigation methods, they will be able to give more surplus for the making of juices and jams in industries thereby increasing the GDP. Produce and other goods can be distributed by the building of transport links, since the existing communication only covers a limited area.
[The topography and climate of Balochistan is also ideal for the expansion of the vegetable seed industry, it has an excellent scope the extraction of oil for cooking, and a huge diversity of the types of seeds grown e.g. sunflower, canola, corn etc. Livestock could be raised on scientific lines to improve the quality and quantity of meat. It could also be prepared in factories, leading to the growth of the processed meats section in frozen foods, thus fulfilling the local need.]
