Agriculture / Horticulture

Introduction

Agriculturally the Nasirabad district is one of the most developed districts in Balochistan. The area, which is fed by Pat Feeder canal (known as Command Area) is irrigated for the most part, and is productive from an agricultural point of view. The major crops grown in the canal fed area are rice, wheat, oil seed, pulses and cotton. The horticulture sector is less developed, but it is improving. Promotion of orchards (citrus, mango, guava) will improve the horticulture sector.

 Chattar sub-division, which lacks irrigation water, is less developed agriculturally. The major crops grown here are wheat, fodder, and oil seeds. Chattar depends on rainfall and in years with enough rain, the area can give good production.

 The largest crop market for the area is Jacobabad.
