Explanation:
There are multitude of reasons:
Area: 40% of Pakistan is Balochistan. Simply means that without it, country would simply be half its size
Key part of Pakistan's energy security:
Pakistan currently has 1 major port i.e Karachi Port which is heavily loaded with serious congestion from commercial, fishing, civil and military shipping. In 1971, the Indian Navy targeted the Karachi Port leading to a massive harm to the economy of Pakistan. Thus, without Gwadar Port, Pakistan has an actual danger of becoming in a way land locked country, and in case of war with India, a country without vital supply lines. Gwadar Port is located at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, just outside the Strait of Hormuz, near the key shipping routes in and out of the Persian Gulf, through which more than 13 million barrel oil per day passes. It also is the shortest route for oil supplies to its key ally China, and thus giving Pakistan a serious ace up their sleeves.
Pakistan currently is an undeveloped country with huge population growing at a rapid pace with very little energy resources of its own. Balochistan shares border directly with Iran, a major producer of oil and gas, with which Pakistan is currently in talks with for a gas pipeline.
Without Balochistan, Pakistan will only be sharing its borders with India, China and Afganistan, thus accessing any gas and oil from Central Asia via Afganistan. Not only does this increase the cost, but also creates huge risks. Afgan peope have traditionally been pro India, with pro India regimes (except for Taliban). Thus in an even of conflict with India, the key supply routes of energy can face a lot of stress from India in naval front and from Afganistan on Land front. Without a conflict also, Afgan Pakistan relations are really rocky
Also, In 1995, Balochistan was contributing nearly 56% to Pakistan’s total output of natural gas, but by 2007 its shares had dropped to 22.7%, and that same year it consumed only 5.81% of the country’s total output.
Natural Resources:
Balochistan is highly rich in minerals and much of its resources are unexplored:
Copper:
The significance of copper resources of Balochistan is widely known because of huge investment made in development of Saindak copper deposit. About 500 million copper has been found from Chaghi district in Western Balochistan.
Besides Saindak, huge reservoir of copper has been discovered in Rekodiq area, located near the Saindak. This is included amongst the 10 biggest copper reservoir of the world.
Iron Ore:
More than 600 million tons of Iron Ores are found in Balochistan. The large portion of Iron Ores has been found nokundi, Chilghazi and Dalbandin areas of Balochistan. Some of the good quality Ore found in Chaghi and Dalbandin areas of Balochistan. The Geographical Survey has discovered iron Ore deposit with initial estimated reserves of 200 million tones at Dilband
amongst others. For a growing economy, these resources are imperative

Answer:
If Balochistan is developed, it can feed the whole of Pakistan because it has many valuable minerals like copper, gold, iron, zinc, lead, silver, manganese. Mining is quite popular in Balochistan as it plays a valuable role in its economy. Fishing is another activity practised in Balochistan. Agriculture and livestock also dominate the Baloch economy. Though the province remains underdeveloped, there are currently several major development projects in progress in Balochistan, including the construction of a new deep seaport at the strategically important town of Gwadar. With these minerals and resources, Balochistan can feed the whole of Pakistan as well as abroad countries.
