The major resource of the district is land, the basis for agriculture and livestock. No minerals are reported in the area. The table below gives the land use in the District. An important feature is that still 39.5% of the area is not yet reported. The area classifies as culturable waste is very small compared to the potential area available for cultivation. This means a limited scope for expansion of cultivation.

The proportion of the district that is potentially available for cultivation is relatively high (56%), making land a particularly valuable resource. This high percentage is mainly due to the availability of irrigation water through feeder canals from the Indus. Nasirabad is a flat area with a hot climate, making it suitable for crops as rice, wheat and cotton.

The district has no mineral potential.

Apart from gas and electricity, dung cake is still used in particular as fuel.

The environmental problems are as yet limited to dust storms and waterlogging and salinity in the irrigated areas, due to deficient drainage systems. Because there is no industry other forms of pollution are not a real issue.
