Director Mr. Sami ullah Khan Gandapur Message

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is primarily an agriculture-based province and its economy largely depends upon agriculture. Thus, the development of our province largely depends upon the development of agriculture. The agricultural production information is very important for planning and allocation of resources to different sectors of agriculture.

The present system of Agricultural Statistics generates valuable statistics on a vast number of parameters. Some of the very important statistics produced by Crop Reporting Services are land-use statistics, area irrigated by different sources, agricultural machinery a d area under major crops and yield estimates through crops cut experiments.

 “Crops Statistics” compiled by Crop Reporting Services, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa plays a vital role by providing wide range of data on all crops that are greatly useful for economists, policy makers, researchers, agricultural scientists, students and the public large in the province/country. The data also meet the needs of different government and non-governmental organizations working in the agricultural sector.  In my opinion the first and foremost thing is to plan objectively is possible only when, we are backed up with sufficient reliable and authentic data.
