Land holdings in Pakistan are of very small size. Due to the increasing population the availability of land is very low. The landholding is also scattered.
-Commercial and extensive agriculture needs lots of inputs, but there is a shortage of inputs like irrigation, seeds, fertilizers and machinery.
-Most of the Pakistani farmers are very poor. They do not have enough money to purchase various kinds of inputs.
-Most of the farmers have large families, so only a small quantity of output is left to sell in the market.

A farmer that only has enough crops for his family to eat and not enough to make a profit out of their crops, practices a susistence farming and in Pakistan it is still practised because of lack of land and various commodities. Hope it helps!!
