Three-hundred farmers; fifty farmers each district were randomly interviewed for this study. It was found that yields of major crops were 35-50 per cent less than the potential anticipated yields. Moreover, yield gaps for the major crops were almost same across both zones. Use of last year’s non-graded crop produce as seed, less than recommended seed use and fertilizers application were the main reasons of yield gaps. Analysis of the sources of income revealed that crop income accounted for about two-third of the total income of farm families. It was estimated that 34% and 28% of the rural farm people were poor in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone respectively. Poverty gap indices for farm people of mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 0.41 and 0.14, respectively. Similarly, income inequality amongst poor in the mixed-cropping zone was more than in the rice-wheat zone. Thus, incidence of rural poverty was more severe in the mixed-cropping zone than in the rice-wheat-zone. Farmers with income above poverty level had more diversified cropping patterns and share of minor crops in their crop income was greater than farmers with income below the poverty level. Keywords: Income sources, Yield gaps, Major crops Introduction In developing countries of Asia, dominant share of their population is living in the rural areas and incidence of poverty in these countries is observed higher in rural areas than in urban areas, despite the recent trend of increasing urban poverty (CIRDP, 2010). The dimensions and dynamics of poverty may be extreme as well as relative. Extreme poverty, which threatens people’s health or lives, is also known as absolute poverty. Extreme poverty in developing nations, as defined by the international organizations, means having a per capita income of less than U.S. $ 1 per day (Encarta, 2005). Poverty in Pakistan increased from 26.1% in 1990-91 to 32.1% in 2000-01. Rural poverty in the country became more prevalent than urban poverty after 1993-94 (GOP, 2011). Consumption based absolute poverty indices were reported at 23.1% at overall basis and 28.4% for rural areas (GOP, 2005). There is a phenomenal increase in the poverty incidence in the country in recent years. Official figures of poverty were 23 per cent in year 2008 and 38 per cent in year 2009. Most of the independent researchers, however, put the even higher by three to four per cent (Khan, 2011). Agricultural development is critically important for poverty alleviation, as 62 % of the population lives in rural areas, directly or indirectly depends on agriculture. Agriculture sector continues to play a central role in Pakistan’s economy. It is the second largest sector, accounting for over 21 per cent of GDP (GOP, 2011). Our crop yields are only 30-33% what they are in developed countries and this obviously is cause of rural poverty (Panhwar, 2005). However, national average crop yields of the country are still 56-84% below the demonstrated potentials. For instance, the gap between actual and potential yield of wheat is 72%, sugarcane 74%, rice 84%, cotton (lint) 56%, maize 73%, pulses 86%, and edible oilseeds 77% (Khan, 2004). The available international literature on the relationship between overall economic growth and poverty reduction is some what ambiguous, whereas the relationship between agricultural growth and poverty reduction is generally positive and much clear. In addition to direct effect of agricultural growth on poverty reduction, there is a much larger indirect effect through the linkages between Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences *Corresponding Author: Abid Hussain Social Sciences Division, Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, Islamabad, Pakistan Email: [email protected]

agriculture and non-farm growth (Mellor 2001) Review of literature shows that low crop yields in Pakistan may be attributed to inefficient use of fertilizers injudicious use of agro-chemicals poor quality seed low seed use conventional sowing method and poor management of agro-practices Although technology development and adoption of technical crop production packages are in progress but their pace is quite low The problem is more severe with the small farmers constrained by meager resources and who are left with little savings for investment on the improvement of their farms Successive governments in Pakistan have used the state machinery and resources in variety of ways to mitigate the ever daunting and perpetual challenge of poverty but without much success Poverty is still burgeoning and expanding Therefore this study was carried out to determine poverty status of rural farm families in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone of the Punjab province with the following specific objectives i To study the socioeconomic characteristics of the

farmersii To analyze the income sources and determine the

poverty status of rural farm familiesiiiTo find out input use levels and to determine yield

gaps for major crops and to suggest recommendations for increasing crop productivity and poverty reduction

Materials and MethodsThis study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 from mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat cropping zone of Punjab The study area was consisted of six districts three from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura and three from mixed-cropping zone viz Faisalabad Jhang and Toba Tek Singh A multistage-cum-random sampling technique was used for this study In first stage three districts from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Sheikhupura and Gujranwala and three districts from mixed-cropping zone viz Jhang Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were selected In second stage one tehsil from each district was selected and in third stage one union council from each tehsil was chosen In total 304 respondents (153 from rice-wheat zone and 151 from mixed-cropping zone) were randomly interviewed Three questionnaires were dropped during data analysis due to incomplete information thus total sample size was 301 An interviewing schedule was prepared for the collection of primary data through personal interviews on different variables affecting the livelihood of farmers eg income from different sources production practices and input use for major crops etc

Official poverty line of Pakistan was Rs74856 per adult equivalent per month based on 2000-01 prices After adding up the changes in inflation from 2000-2004 the poverty line at 2004 prices was placed at Rs84878 per equivalentmonth (GOP 2004) Families with per capita income of less than Rs84878 per month were considered poor and those with per capita income greater than Rs 84878 per month were considered as non-poor Foster Greer and Thorbeck (1984) class of poverty measures were applied for the analysis of primary data The poverty measures related to this class were described as head-count ratio poverty gap index and squared poverty gapHead-count ratio denoted by lsquoHrsquo was based on poverty line that was established by costing a minimum basket of goods for basic human survival using income or consumption data (Chaudhry 1985) It was the proportion of population for which consumption (or another suitable measure of living standard) lsquoyrsquo is less than poverty line lsquozrsquo Suppose lsquoqrsquo people are poor by this definition in a population of size lsquonrsquo Then head-count index is

H = qn = proportion of total population deemed to be poor

However head-count index was totally insensitive to differences in the depth of poverty Thus depth of poverty was measured by poverty-gap index (PGI) This was based on the aggregate poverty deficit of the poor relative to the poverty line PGI gave a good indication of the depth of poverty in that it measuredthe degree to which mean income of the poor differedfrom the established poverty line To see how this measure was defined let incomes be arranged in ascending order the poorest has lsquoy1rsquo the next poorest lsquoy2rsquo etc with the least poor having lsquoyqrsquo Which was (by definition) no greater than the poverty line lsquozrsquo Then the poverty gap index can be defined as followsPG = 1 n [(z-yi)z]q = Mean proportionate poverty gap across the whole i=1 population (zero gap for the non-poor)But one drawback of the poverty gap measure was that it may not convincingly capture the difference in the severity of poverty To determine this aspect of poverty squared poverty gap index (P2) was used It was measured by formula as

P2 = 1 n [(z-yi)z]2q = mean of squared proportionate poverty gap i=1

Both for descriptive and statistical analysis of the data SPSS package was used

Results and DiscussionSocio-economic Characteristics of the FarmersMean ages of the respondents in rice-wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were 49 years and 42 years respectively Farmers in rice-wheat zone were comparatively more experienced than in mixed-cropping zone Mean experience of the farmers was 28 years in rice-wheat zone and 21 years in mixed-cropping zone However mean education of the respondents was same across the zones (8 years) Average family size of the sample farmers was thirteen and ten in rice-wheat and mixed-cropping zones respectively Tenancy characteristics of the farmers in the study area were quite similar across cropping zones as 86 of the farmers were owner cultivators 8 were owner-cum-tenants and 6 were tenants (Table 1) Poverty is strongly correlated with lack of land which is the principal asset in the rural economy of Pakistan (Anwar et al 2004) Household assets such as land ownership value of livestock reduce the chance of being poor (Hashmi et al 2008) Distribution of farmers by farm size categories was significantly different across the two zones Percentage of the small farmers was same in both the zones (61) whereas percentage of medium farmers was greater in mixed-cropping zone and that of large farmers was greater in the rice-wheat zone Average operational holding of the farmers was 172 acres in rice-wheat zone and 142 acres in mixed-cropping zone (Table 1)Sources of Income and Share of Different Crops in the Crop Income by ZoneSources of income have great implication in determining the chances of any household being poor or otherwise Malik (2005) defined five major sources of income in rural Pakistan viz wagessalaries transfer income crop Income rental income and livestock income In the surveyed zones crop income contributed about two-third (664) of the total income of the farm families while about one-fifth (20) is added by wages and salaries Share of the livestock income was 75 per cent while contribution of transfer and rental incomes was 37 per cent Zone wise details of sources of income are given in Table 2Figures 1 to 4 show shares of major and minor crops in the total income of poor and non-poor farm families In rice-wheat zone share of minor crops in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (6) than that of poor farmers (3) see Fig 1 and 2 In other words in rice-wheat zone share of grain crops in the income of poor farmers was greater than non-poor ones Similarly in mixed-cropping zone share of minor crop in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (29) than that of poor farmers (8) see Fig3 and 4)

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majorityof poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2) Poverty IndicesHead Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households

was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zoneAgricultural ProductionIdentification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458)In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

the produce lack of transportation and storage facilities were perceived as main problems by the farmers As the crop income contributes about two-third in the total income of farm families thus increase in agricultural productivity is essential for increasing crop earnings of the farmers and to lower the rural poverty in the province Since the increasing prices of agricultural inputs have eroded farmersrsquo purchasing power thus they have chosen to cut on inputs use To improve the situation authorities should strictly penalize hoarders of fertilizers and control overpricing of fertilizers and agro-chemicals This is necessary to transfer the subsidies provided to the fertilizer companies by the government to the farmers in a real sense

Introduction

In developing countries of Asia dominant share of their population is living in the rural areas and

incidence of poverty in these countries is observed higher in rural areas than in urban areas despite the recent trend of increasing urban poverty (CIRDP 2010) The dimensions and dynamics of poverty may be extreme as well as relative Extreme poverty which threatens peoplersquos health or lives is also known as absolute poverty Extreme poverty in developing nations as defined by the international organizations means having a per capita income of less than US $ 1 per day (Encarta 2005) Poverty in Pakistan increased from 261 in 1990-91 to 321 in 2000-01 Rural poverty in the country became more prevalent than urban poverty after 1993-94 (GOP 2011) Consumption based absolute poverty indices were reported at 231 at overall basis and 284 for rural areas (GOP 2005) There is a phenomenal increase in the poverty incidence in the country in recent years Official figures of poverty were 23 per cent in year 2008 and 38 per cent in year 2009 Most of the independent researchers however put the even higher by three to four per cent (Khan 2011)

Agricultural development is critically important for poverty alleviation as 62 of the population lives in rural areas directly or indirectly depends on agriculture Agriculture sector continues to play a central role in Pakistanrsquos economy It is the second largest sector accounting for over 21 per cent of GDP (GOP 2011) Our crop yields are only 30-33 what they are in developed countries and this obviously is cause of rural poverty (Panhwar 2005) However national average crop yields of the country are still 56-84 below the demonstrated potentials For instance the gap between actual and potential yield of wheat is 72 sugarcane 74 rice 84 cotton (lint) 56 maize 73 pulses 86 and edible oilseeds 77 (Khan 2004)

The available international literature on the relationship between overall economic growth and poverty reduction is some what ambiguous whereas the relationship between agricultural growth and poverty reduction is generally positive and much clear In addition to direct effect of agricultural growth on poverty reduction there is a much larger indirect effect through the linkages between agriculture and non-farm growth (Mellor 2001) Review of literature shows that low crop yields in Pakistan may be attributed to inefficient use of fertilizers injudicious use of agro-chemicals poor quality seed low seed use conventional sowing method and poor management of agro-practices Although technology development and adoption of technical crop production packages are in progress but their pace is quite low The problem is more severe with the small farmers constrained by meager resources and who are left with little savings for investment on the improvement of their farms Successive governments in Pakistan have used the state machinery and resources in variety of ways to mitigate the ever daunting and perpetual challenge of poverty but without much success Poverty is still burgeoning and expanding Therefore this study was carried out to determine poverty status of rural farm families in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone of the Punjab province with the following specific objectives

i To study the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers

ii To analyze the income sources and determine the poverty status of rural farm families

iii To find out input use levels and to determine yield gaps for major crops and to suggest recommendations for increasing crop productivity and poverty reduction

Materials and Methods

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 from mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat cropping zone of Punjab The study area was consisted of six districts three from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura and three from mixed-cropping zone viz Faisalabad Jhang and Toba Tek Singh A multistage-cum-random sampling technique was used for this study In first stage three districts from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Sheikhupura and Gujranwala and three districts from mixed-cropping zone viz Jhang Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were selected In second stage one tehsil from each district was selected and in third stage one union council from each tehsil was chosen In total 304 respondents (153 from rice-wheat zone and 151 from mixed-cropping zone) were randomly interviewed Three questionnaires were dropped during data analysis due to incomplete information thus total sample size was 301 An interviewing schedule was prepared for the collection of primary data through personal interviews on different variables affecting the livelihood of farmers eg income from different sources production practices and input use for major crops etc

Official poverty line of Pakistan was Rs74856 per adult equivalent per month based on 2000-01 prices After adding up the changes in inflation from 2000- 2004 the poverty line at 2004 prices was placed at Rs84878 per equivalentmonth (GOP 2004) Families with per capita income of less than Rs 84878 per month were considered poor and those with per capita income greater than Rs 84878 per month were considered as non-poor Foster Greer and Thorbeck (1984) class of poverty measures were applied for the analysis of primary data The poverty measures related to this class were described as head-count ratio poverty gap index and squared poverty gap

Head-count ratio denoted by lsquoHrsquo was based on poverty line that was established by costing a minimum basket of goods for basic human survival using income or consumption data (Chaudhry 1985) It was the proportion of population for which consumption (or another suitable measure of living standard) lsquoyrsquo is less than poverty line lsquozrsquo Suppose lsquoqrsquo people are poor by this definition in a population of size lsquonrsquo Then head-count index is

H = qn = proportion of total population deemed to be poor

However head-count index was totally insensitive to differences in the depth of poverty Thus depth of poverty was measured by poverty-gap index (PGI) This was based on the aggregate poverty deficit of the poor relative to the poverty line PGI gave a good indication of the depth of poverty in that it measured the degree to which mean income of the poor differed from the established poverty line To see how this measure was defined let incomes be arranged in ascending order the poorest has lsquoy1rsquo the next poorest lsquoy2rsquo etc with the least poor having lsquoyqrsquo Which was (by definition) no greater than the poverty line lsquozrsquo Then the poverty gap index can be defined as follows

PG = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]q = Mean proportionate poverty gap across the whole

i=1 population (zero gap for the non-poor)

But one drawback of the poverty gap measure was that it may not convincingly capture the difference in the severity of poverty To determine this aspect of poverty squared poverty gap index (P2) was used It was measured by formula as

P2 = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]2q = mean of squared proportionate poverty gap i=1

Both for descriptive and statistical analysis of the data SPSS package was used

Results and Discussion

Socio-economic Characteristics of the Farmers

Mean ages of the respondents in rice-wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were 49 years and 42 years respectively Farmers in rice-wheat zone were comparatively more experienced than in mixed-cropping zone Mean experience of the farmers was 28 years in rice-wheat zone and 21 years in mixed-cropping zone However mean education of the respondents was same across the zones (8 years) Average family size of the sample farmers was thirteen and ten in rice-wheat and mixed-cropping zones respectively

Tenancy characteristics of the farmers in the study area were quite similar across cropping zones as 86 of the farmers were owner cultivators 8 were owner-cum-tenants and 6 were tenants (Table 1) Poverty is strongly correlated with lack of land which is the principal asset in the rural economy of Pakistan (Anwar et al 2004) Household assets such as land ownership value of livestock reduce the chance of being poor (Hashmi et al 2008) Distribution of farmers by farm size categories was significantly different across the two zones Percentage of the small farmers was same in both the zones (61) whereas percentage of medium farmers was greater in mixed-cropping zone and that of large farmers was greater in the rice-wheat zone Average operational holding of the farmers was 172 acres in rice-wheat zone and 142 acres in mixed-cropping zone (Table 1)

Sources of Income and Share of Different Crops in the Crop Income by Zone

Sources of income have great implication in determining the chances of any household being poor or otherwise Malik (2005) defined five major sources of income in rural Pakistan viz wagessalaries transfer income crop Income rental income and livestock income In the surveyed zones crop income contributed about two-third (664) of the total income of the farm families while about one-fifth (20) is added by wages and salaries Share of the livestock income was 75 per cent while contribution of transfer and rental incomes was 37 per cent Zone wise details of sources of income are given in Table 2

Figures 1 to 4 show shares of major and minor crops in the total income of poor and non-poor farm families In rice-wheat zone share of minor crops in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (6) than that of poor farmers (3) see Fig 1 and 2 In other words in rice-wheat zone share of grain crops in the income of poor farmers was greater than non-poor ones Similarly in mixed-cropping zone share of minor crop in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (29) than that of poor farmers (8) see Fig 3 and 4)

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)

Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majority of poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone

Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2)

Poverty Indices

Head Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone

Agricultural Production

Identification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop

Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458) In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

Fertilizer application levels for major crops were significantly different across the two zones however use of phosphorus for rice crop was quite same across both zones Moreover mean application of nutrients for wheat crop were also similar across zone Average applications of fertilizer nutrients for sugarcane and rice crops were relatively higher in mixed-cropping zone as compared to rice-wheat-zone Farmers were applying imbalanced and low level of fertilizers in the study area On the whole per cent gaps between the recommended and actual levels of fertilizer nutrients applications were 42 47 and 62 per cent for wheat rice and sugarcane crops respectively The mean application of nitrogen phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177

and are significant at 1 and 5 levels respectively

Table 6 Gaps between obtained and potential yields

and are significant at 1 and 5 levels respectively

phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended dosages of 55 32 and 25 kilograms per acre respectively Average usages of N P and K fertilizers for wheat crop were 515 260 and 04 kilograms per acre against the recommended dosages of 64 46 and 25 kilogram per acre respectively (Table 5) Thus farmers apply lows doses of fertilizers to major crops in both the cropping zones Main reasons to use low levels of fertilizers reported by the farmers were non-availability black marketing and high prices of fertilizers especially at sowing times

Mean sugarcane yield obtained by the farmers in mixed-cropping zone was relatively higher as compared to farmers of rice-wheat zone Average yield of sugarcane in the study area was 7061 maunds per acre which was less than potential yield of 1082 maunds per acre by 347 per cent Average yield of rice crop was 357 maunds per acre and yield gap for rice crop was 504 per cent Average yield of wheat obtained by the growers in the study area was 357 maunds per acre which was less than the potential yield by 405 per cent

Conclusion and Recommendations

Almost one-third of farm population was poor in the study area Poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Aggregate poverty deficit of poor in mixed-cropping zone was more than in rice-wheat zone Likewise poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Incidence of poverty was more in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone inspite of use of better quality seed and application of higher dosages of fertilizers by the farmers in this zone than in rice-wheat zone There are many reasons for this yield of major crop was quite similar across both zones percentage of the large farmers and mean holding of the sample farmers was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone share of crop income in the total family income was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone Moreover incidence of poverty not only depends on the land ownership but also on many other factors viz quality of land and its productivity availability of water fit for irrigation dependency ratio income diversification and transfer incomes etc In the study area crop yield gaps between actual and potential ones were 35-50 per cent Main reasons of low yields were less than recommended seed use imbalanced and less than recommend application of fertilizers high prices of agricultural inputs and adulterated agro-chemicals etc On the output side low prices of the produce lack of transportation and storage facilities were perceived as main problems by the farmers As the crop income contributes about two-third in the total income of farm families thus increase in agricultural productivity is essential for increasing crop earnings of the farmers and to lower the rural poverty in the province Since the increasing prices of agricultural inputs have eroded farmersrsquo purchasing power thus they have chosen to cut on inputs use To improve the situation authorities should strictly penalize hoarders of fertilizers and control overpricing of fertilizers and agro-chemicals This is necessary to transfer the subsidies provided to the fertilizer companies by the government to the farmers in a real sense

Agricultural productivity and rural poverty in Punjab

173

agriculture and non-farm growth (Mellor 2001) Review of literature shows that low crop yields in Pakistan may be attributed to inefficient use of fertilizers injudicious use of agro-chemicals poor quality seed low seed use conventional sowing method and poor management of agro-practices Although technology development and adoption of technical crop production packages are in progress but their pace is quite low The problem is more severe with the small farmers constrained by meager resources and who are left with little savings for investment on the improvement of their farms Successive governments in Pakistan have used the state machinery and resources in variety of ways to mitigate the ever daunting and perpetual challenge of poverty but without much success Poverty is still burgeoning and expanding Therefore this study was carried out to determine poverty status of rural farm families in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone of the Punjab province with the following specific objectives i To study the socioeconomic characteristics of the

farmersii To analyze the income sources and determine the

poverty status of rural farm familiesiiiTo find out input use levels and to determine yield

gaps for major crops and to suggest recommendations for increasing crop productivity and poverty reduction

Materials and MethodsThis study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 from mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat cropping zone of Punjab The study area was consisted of six districts three from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura and three from mixed-cropping zone viz Faisalabad Jhang and Toba Tek Singh A multistage-cum-random sampling technique was used for this study In first stage three districts from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Sheikhupura and Gujranwala and three districts from mixed-cropping zone viz Jhang Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were selected In second stage one tehsil from each district was selected and in third stage one union council from each tehsil was chosen In total 304 respondents (153 from rice-wheat zone and 151 from mixed-cropping zone) were randomly interviewed Three questionnaires were dropped during data analysis due to incomplete information thus total sample size was 301 An interviewing schedule was prepared for the collection of primary data through personal interviews on different variables affecting the livelihood of farmers eg income from different sources production practices and input use for major crops etc

Official poverty line of Pakistan was Rs74856 per adult equivalent per month based on 2000-01 prices After adding up the changes in inflation from 2000-2004 the poverty line at 2004 prices was placed at Rs84878 per equivalentmonth (GOP 2004) Families with per capita income of less than Rs84878 per month were considered poor and those with per capita income greater than Rs 84878 per month were considered as non-poor Foster Greer and Thorbeck (1984) class of poverty measures were applied for the analysis of primary data The poverty measures related to this class were described as head-count ratio poverty gap index and squared poverty gapHead-count ratio denoted by lsquoHrsquo was based on poverty line that was established by costing a minimum basket of goods for basic human survival using income or consumption data (Chaudhry 1985) It was the proportion of population for which consumption (or another suitable measure of living standard) lsquoyrsquo is less than poverty line lsquozrsquo Suppose lsquoqrsquo people are poor by this definition in a population of size lsquonrsquo Then head-count index is

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majorityof poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2) Poverty IndicesHead Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households

was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zoneAgricultural ProductionIdentification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458)In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

Abstract

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 in order to analyze income sources poverty status and crop productivity of farmer families in the selected districts of rice-wheat zone (Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura) and mixed-cropping zone (Faisalabd Jhang and Toba Tek Singh) of Punjab Pakistan Three-hundred farmers fifty farmers each district were randomly interviewed for this study It was found that yields of major crops were 35-50 per cent less than the potential anticipated yields Moreover yield gaps for the major crops were almost same across both zones Use of last yearrsquos non-graded crop produce as seed less than recommended seed use and fertilizers application were the main reasons of yield gaps Analysis of the sources of income revealed that crop income accounted for about two-third of the total income of farm families It was estimated that 34 and 28 of the rural farm people were poor in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone respectively Poverty gap indices for farm people of mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Similarly income inequality amongst poor in the mixed-cropping zone was more than in the rice-wheat zone Thus incidence of rural poverty was more severe in the mixed-cropping zone than in the rice-wheat-zone Farmers with income above poverty level had more diversified cropping patterns and share of minor crops in their crop income was greater than farmers with income below the poverty level

Introduction

In developing countries of Asia dominant share of their population is living in the rural areas and

incidence of poverty in these countries is observed higher in rural areas than in urban areas despite the recent trend of increasing urban poverty (CIRDP 2010) The dimensions and dynamics of poverty may be extreme as well as relative Extreme poverty which threatens peoplersquos health or lives is also known as absolute poverty Extreme poverty in developing nations as defined by the international organizations means having a per capita income of less than US $ 1 per day (Encarta 2005) Poverty in Pakistan increased from 261 in 1990-91 to 321 in 2000-01 Rural poverty in the country became more prevalent than urban poverty after 1993-94 (GOP 2011) Consumption based absolute poverty indices were reported at 231 at overall basis and 284 for rural areas (GOP 2005) There is a phenomenal increase in the poverty incidence in the country in recent years Official figures of poverty were 23 per cent in year 2008 and 38 per cent in year 2009 Most of the independent researchers however put the even higher by three to four per cent (Khan 2011)

Agricultural development is critically important for poverty alleviation as 62 of the population lives in rural areas directly or indirectly depends on agriculture Agriculture sector continues to play a central role in Pakistanrsquos economy It is the second largest sector accounting for over 21 per cent of GDP (GOP 2011) Our crop yields are only 30-33 what they are in developed countries and this obviously is cause of rural poverty (Panhwar 2005) However national average crop yields of the country are still 56-84 below the demonstrated potentials For instance the gap between actual and potential yield of wheat is 72 sugarcane 74 rice 84 cotton (lint) 56 maize 73 pulses 86 and edible oilseeds 77 (Khan 2004)

The available international literature on the relationship between overall economic growth and poverty reduction is some what ambiguous whereas the relationship between agricultural growth and poverty reduction is generally positive and much clear In addition to direct effect of agricultural growth on poverty reduction there is a much larger indirect effect through the linkages between agriculture and non-farm growth (Mellor 2001) Review of literature shows that low crop yields in Pakistan may be attributed to inefficient use of fertilizers injudicious use of agro-chemicals poor quality seed low seed use conventional sowing method and poor management of agro-practices Although technology development and adoption of technical crop production packages are in progress but their pace is quite low The problem is more severe with the small farmers constrained by meager resources and who are left with little savings for investment on the improvement of their farms Successive governments in Pakistan have used the state machinery and resources in variety of ways to mitigate the ever daunting and perpetual challenge of poverty but without much success Poverty is still burgeoning and expanding Therefore this study was carried out to determine poverty status of rural farm families in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone of the Punjab province with the following specific objectives

i To study the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers

ii To analyze the income sources and determine the poverty status of rural farm families

iii To find out input use levels and to determine yield gaps for major crops and to suggest recommendations for increasing crop productivity and poverty reduction

Materials and Methods

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 from mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat cropping zone of Punjab The study area was consisted of six districts three from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura and three from mixed-cropping zone viz Faisalabad Jhang and Toba Tek Singh A multistage-cum-random sampling technique was used for this study In first stage three districts from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Sheikhupura and Gujranwala and three districts from mixed-cropping zone viz Jhang Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were selected In second stage one tehsil from each district was selected and in third stage one union council from each tehsil was chosen In total 304 respondents (153 from rice-wheat zone and 151 from mixed-cropping zone) were randomly interviewed Three questionnaires were dropped during data analysis due to incomplete information thus total sample size was 301 An interviewing schedule was prepared for the collection of primary data through personal interviews on different variables affecting the livelihood of farmers eg income from different sources production practices and input use for major crops etc

Official poverty line of Pakistan was Rs74856 per adult equivalent per month based on 2000-01 prices After adding up the changes in inflation from 2000- 2004 the poverty line at 2004 prices was placed at Rs84878 per equivalentmonth (GOP 2004) Families with per capita income of less than Rs 84878 per month were considered poor and those with per capita income greater than Rs 84878 per month were considered as non-poor Foster Greer and Thorbeck (1984) class of poverty measures were applied for the analysis of primary data The poverty measures related to this class were described as head-count ratio poverty gap index and squared poverty gap

Head-count ratio denoted by lsquoHrsquo was based on poverty line that was established by costing a minimum basket of goods for basic human survival using income or consumption data (Chaudhry 1985) It was the proportion of population for which consumption (or another suitable measure of living standard) lsquoyrsquo is less than poverty line lsquozrsquo Suppose lsquoqrsquo people are poor by this definition in a population of size lsquonrsquo Then head-count index is

H = qn = proportion of total population deemed to be poor

However head-count index was totally insensitive to differences in the depth of poverty Thus depth of poverty was measured by poverty-gap index (PGI) This was based on the aggregate poverty deficit of the poor relative to the poverty line PGI gave a good indication of the depth of poverty in that it measured the degree to which mean income of the poor differed from the established poverty line To see how this measure was defined let incomes be arranged in ascending order the poorest has lsquoy1rsquo the next poorest lsquoy2rsquo etc with the least poor having lsquoyqrsquo Which was (by definition) no greater than the poverty line lsquozrsquo Then the poverty gap index can be defined as follows

PG = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]q = Mean proportionate poverty gap across the whole

i=1 population (zero gap for the non-poor)

But one drawback of the poverty gap measure was that it may not convincingly capture the difference in the severity of poverty To determine this aspect of poverty squared poverty gap index (P2) was used It was measured by formula as

P2 = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]2q = mean of squared proportionate poverty gap i=1

Both for descriptive and statistical analysis of the data SPSS package was used

Results and Discussion

Socio-economic Characteristics of the Farmers

Mean ages of the respondents in rice-wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were 49 years and 42 years respectively Farmers in rice-wheat zone were comparatively more experienced than in mixed-cropping zone Mean experience of the farmers was 28 years in rice-wheat zone and 21 years in mixed-cropping zone However mean education of the respondents was same across the zones (8 years) Average family size of the sample farmers was thirteen and ten in rice-wheat and mixed-cropping zones respectively

Tenancy characteristics of the farmers in the study area were quite similar across cropping zones as 86 of the farmers were owner cultivators 8 were owner-cum-tenants and 6 were tenants (Table 1) Poverty is strongly correlated with lack of land which is the principal asset in the rural economy of Pakistan (Anwar et al 2004) Household assets such as land ownership value of livestock reduce the chance of being poor (Hashmi et al 2008) Distribution of farmers by farm size categories was significantly different across the two zones Percentage of the small farmers was same in both the zones (61) whereas percentage of medium farmers was greater in mixed-cropping zone and that of large farmers was greater in the rice-wheat zone Average operational holding of the farmers was 172 acres in rice-wheat zone and 142 acres in mixed-cropping zone (Table 1)

Sources of Income and Share of Different Crops in the Crop Income by Zone

Sources of income have great implication in determining the chances of any household being poor or otherwise Malik (2005) defined five major sources of income in rural Pakistan viz wagessalaries transfer income crop Income rental income and livestock income In the surveyed zones crop income contributed about two-third (664) of the total income of the farm families while about one-fifth (20) is added by wages and salaries Share of the livestock income was 75 per cent while contribution of transfer and rental incomes was 37 per cent Zone wise details of sources of income are given in Table 2

Figures 1 to 4 show shares of major and minor crops in the total income of poor and non-poor farm families In rice-wheat zone share of minor crops in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (6) than that of poor farmers (3) see Fig 1 and 2 In other words in rice-wheat zone share of grain crops in the income of poor farmers was greater than non-poor ones Similarly in mixed-cropping zone share of minor crop in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (29) than that of poor farmers (8) see Fig 3 and 4)

Due to lack of employment opportunities in the farm sector share of non-farm income in the income of rural households is rising Adams et al (1995) observed that the non-farm sector was the most important source of income in rural areas of Pakistan and indicated that self-employment unskilled labour

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)

Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majority of poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone

Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2)

Poverty Indices

Head Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone

Agricultural Production

Identification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop

Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458) In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended dosages of 55 32 and 25 kilograms per acre respectively Average usages of N P and K fertilizers for wheat crop were 515 260 and 04 kilograms per acre against the recommended dosages of 64 46 and 25 kilogram per acre respectively (Table 5) Thus farmers apply lows doses of fertilizers to major crops in both the cropping zones Main reasons to use low levels of fertilizers reported by the farmers were non-availability black marketing and high prices of fertilizers especially at sowing times

Mean sugarcane yield obtained by the farmers in mixed-cropping zone was relatively higher as compared to farmers of rice-wheat zone Average yield of sugarcane in the study area was 7061 maunds per acre which was less than potential yield of 1082 maunds per acre by 347 per cent Average yield of rice crop was 357 maunds per acre and yield gap for rice crop was 504 per cent Average yield of wheat obtained by the growers in the study area was 357 maunds per acre which was less than the potential yield by 405 per cent

Conclusion and Recommendations

Almost one-third of farm population was poor in the study area Poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Aggregate poverty deficit of poor in mixed-cropping zone was more than in rice-wheat zone Likewise poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Incidence of poverty was more in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone inspite of use of better quality seed and application of higher dosages of fertilizers by the farmers in this zone than in rice-wheat zone There are many reasons for this yield of major crop was quite similar across both zones percentage of the large farmers and mean holding of the sample farmers was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone share of crop income in the total family income was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone Moreover incidence of poverty not only depends on the land ownership but also on many other factors viz quality of land and its productivity availability of water fit for irrigation dependency ratio income diversification and transfer incomes etc In the study area crop yield gaps between actual and potential ones were 35-50 per cent Main reasons of low yields were less than recommended seed use imbalanced and less than recommend application of fertilizers high prices of agricultural inputs and adulterated agro-chemicals etc On the output side low prices of the produce lack of transportation and storage facilities were perceived as main problems by the farmers As the crop income contributes about two-third in the total income of farm families thus increase in agricultural productivity is essential for increasing crop earnings of the farmers and to lower the rural poverty in the province Since the increasing prices of agricultural inputs have eroded farmersrsquo purchasing power thus they have chosen to cut on inputs use To improve the situation authorities should strictly penalize hoarders of fertilizers and control overpricing of fertilizers and agro-chemicals This is necessary to transfer the subsidies provided to the fertilizer companies by the government to the farmers in a real sense

Due to lack of employment opportunities in the farm sector share of non-farm income in the income of rural households is rising Adams et al (1995) observed that the non-farm sector was the most important source of income in rural areas of Pakistan and indicated that self-employment unskilled labour

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majorityof poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2) Poverty IndicesHead Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households

was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zoneAgricultural ProductionIdentification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458)In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

Fertilizer application levels for major crops were significantly different across the two zones however use of phosphorus for rice crop was quite same across both zones Moreover mean application of nutrients for wheat crop were also similar across zone Average applications of fertilizer nutrients for sugarcane and rice crops were relatively higher in mixed-cropping zone as compared to rice-wheat-zone Farmers were applying imbalanced and low level of fertilizers in the study area

On the whole per cent gaps between the recommended and actual levels of fertilizer nutrients applications were 42 47 and 62 per cent for wheat rice and sugarcane crops respectively The mean application of nitrogen phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177

the produce lack of transportation and storage facilities were perceived as main problems by the farmers As the crop income contributes about two-third in the total income of farm families thus increase in agricultural productivity is essential for increasing crop earnings of the farmers and to lower the rural poverty in the province Since the increasing prices of agricultural inputs have eroded farmersrsquo purchasing power thus they have chosen to cut on inputs use To improve the situation authorities should strictly penalize hoarders of fertilizers and control overpricing of fertilizers and agro-chemicals This is necessary to transfer the subsidies provided to the fertilizer companies by the government to the farmers in a real sense

Abstract

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 in order to analyze income sources poverty status and crop productivity of farmer families in the selected districts of rice-wheat zone (Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura) and mixed-cropping zone (Faisalabd Jhang and Toba Tek Singh) of Punjab Pakistan Three-hundred farmers fifty farmers each district were randomly interviewed for this study It was found that yields of major crops were 35-50 per cent less than the potential anticipated yields Moreover yield gaps for the major crops were almost same across both zones Use of last yearrsquos non-graded crop produce as seed less than recommended seed use and fertilizers application were the main reasons of yield gaps Analysis of the sources of income revealed that crop income accounted for about two-third of the total income of farm families It was estimated that 34 and 28 of the rural farm people were poor in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone respectively Poverty gap indices for farm people of mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Similarly income inequality amongst poor in the mixed-cropping zone was more than in the rice-wheat zone Thus incidence of rural poverty was more severe in the mixed-cropping zone than in the rice-wheat-zone Farmers with income above poverty level had more diversified cropping patterns and share of minor crops in their crop income was greater than farmers with income below the poverty level

Introduction

In developing countries of Asia dominant share of their population is living in the rural areas and

incidence of poverty in these countries is observed higher in rural areas than in urban areas despite the recent trend of increasing urban poverty (CIRDP 2010) The dimensions and dynamics of poverty may be extreme as well as relative Extreme poverty which threatens peoplersquos health or lives is also known as absolute poverty Extreme poverty in developing nations as defined by the international organizations means having a per capita income of less than US $ 1 per day (Encarta 2005) Poverty in Pakistan increased from 261 in 1990-91 to 321 in 2000-01 Rural poverty in the country became more prevalent than urban poverty after 1993-94 (GOP 2011) Consumption based absolute poverty indices were reported at 231 at overall basis and 284 for rural areas (GOP 2005) There is a phenomenal increase in the poverty incidence in the country in recent years Official figures of poverty were 23 per cent in year 2008 and 38 per cent in year 2009 Most of the independent researchers however put the even higher by three to four per cent (Khan 2011)

Agricultural development is critically important for poverty alleviation as 62 of the population lives in rural areas directly or indirectly depends on agriculture Agriculture sector continues to play a central role in Pakistanrsquos economy It is the second largest sector accounting for over 21 per cent of GDP (GOP 2011) Our crop yields are only 30-33 what they are in developed countries and this obviously is cause of rural poverty (Panhwar 2005) However national average crop yields of the country are still 56-84 below the demonstrated potentials For instance the gap between actual and potential yield of wheat is 72 sugarcane 74 rice 84 cotton (lint) 56 maize 73 pulses 86 and edible oilseeds 77 (Khan 2004)

The available international literature on the relationship between overall economic growth and poverty reduction is some what ambiguous whereas the relationship between agricultural growth and poverty reduction is generally positive and much clear In addition to direct effect of agricultural growth on poverty reduction there is a much larger indirect effect through the linkages between agriculture and non-farm growth (Mellor 2001) Review of literature shows that low crop yields in Pakistan may be attributed to inefficient use of fertilizers injudicious use of agro-chemicals poor quality seed low seed use conventional sowing method and poor management of agro-practices Although technology development and adoption of technical crop production packages are in progress but their pace is quite low The problem is more severe with the small farmers constrained by meager resources and who are left with little savings for investment on the improvement of their farms Successive governments in Pakistan have used the state machinery and resources in variety of ways to mitigate the ever daunting and perpetual challenge of poverty but without much success Poverty is still burgeoning and expanding Therefore this study was carried out to determine poverty status of rural farm families in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone of the Punjab province with the following specific objectives

i To study the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers

ii To analyze the income sources and determine the poverty status of rural farm families

iii To find out input use levels and to determine yield gaps for major crops and to suggest recommendations for increasing crop productivity and poverty reduction

Materials and Methods

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 from mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat cropping zone of Punjab The study area was consisted of six districts three from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura and three from mixed-cropping zone viz Faisalabad Jhang and Toba Tek Singh A multistage-cum-random sampling technique was used for this study In first stage three districts from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Sheikhupura and Gujranwala and three districts from mixed-cropping zone viz Jhang Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were selected In second stage one tehsil from each district was selected and in third stage one union council from each tehsil was chosen In total 304 respondents (153 from rice-wheat zone and 151 from mixed-cropping zone) were randomly interviewed Three questionnaires were dropped during data analysis due to incomplete information thus total sample size was 301 An interviewing schedule was prepared for the collection of primary data through personal interviews on different variables affecting the livelihood of farmers eg income from different sources production practices and input use for major crops etc

Official poverty line of Pakistan was Rs74856 per adult equivalent per month based on 2000-01 prices After adding up the changes in inflation from 2000- 2004 the poverty line at 2004 prices was placed at Rs84878 per equivalentmonth (GOP 2004) Families with per capita income of less than Rs 84878 per month were considered poor and those with per capita income greater than Rs 84878 per month were considered as non-poor Foster Greer and Thorbeck (1984) class of poverty measures were applied for the analysis of primary data The poverty measures related to this class were described as head-count ratio poverty gap index and squared poverty gap

Head-count ratio denoted by lsquoHrsquo was based on poverty line that was established by costing a minimum basket of goods for basic human survival using income or consumption data (Chaudhry 1985) It was the proportion of population for which consumption (or another suitable measure of living standard) lsquoyrsquo is less than poverty line lsquozrsquo Suppose lsquoqrsquo people are poor by this definition in a population of size lsquonrsquo Then head-count index is

H = qn = proportion of total population deemed to be poor

However head-count index was totally insensitive to differences in the depth of poverty Thus depth of poverty was measured by poverty-gap index (PGI) This was based on the aggregate poverty deficit of the poor relative to the poverty line PGI gave a good indication of the depth of poverty in that it measured the degree to which mean income of the poor differed from the established poverty line To see how this measure was defined let incomes be arranged in ascending order the poorest has lsquoy1rsquo the next poorest lsquoy2rsquo etc with the least poor having lsquoyqrsquo Which was (by definition) no greater than the poverty line lsquozrsquo Then the poverty gap index can be defined as follows

PG = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]q = Mean proportionate poverty gap across the whole

i=1 population (zero gap for the non-poor)

But one drawback of the poverty gap measure was that it may not convincingly capture the difference in the severity of poverty To determine this aspect of poverty squared poverty gap index (P2) was used It was measured by formula as

P2 = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]2q = mean of squared proportionate poverty gap i=1

Both for descriptive and statistical analysis of the data SPSS package was used

Results and Discussion

Socio-economic Characteristics of the Farmers

Mean ages of the respondents in rice-wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were 49 years and 42 years respectively Farmers in rice-wheat zone were comparatively more experienced than in mixed-cropping zone Mean experience of the farmers was 28 years in rice-wheat zone and 21 years in mixed-cropping zone However mean education of the respondents was same across the zones (8 years) Average family size of the sample farmers was thirteen and ten in rice-wheat and mixed-cropping zones respectively

Tenancy characteristics of the farmers in the study area were quite similar across cropping zones as 86 of the farmers were owner cultivators 8 were owner-cum-tenants and 6 were tenants (Table 1) Poverty is strongly correlated with lack of land which is the principal asset in the rural economy of Pakistan (Anwar et al 2004) Household assets such as land ownership value of livestock reduce the chance of being poor (Hashmi et al 2008) Distribution of farmers by farm size categories was significantly different across the two zones Percentage of the small farmers was same in both the zones (61) whereas percentage of medium farmers was greater in mixed-cropping zone and that of large farmers was greater in the rice-wheat zone Average operational holding of the farmers was 172 acres in rice-wheat zone and 142 acres in mixed-cropping zone (Table 1)

Sources of income have great implication in determining the chances of any household being poor or otherwise Malik (2005) defined five major sources of income in rural Pakistan viz wagessalaries transfer income crop Income rental income and livestock income In the surveyed zones crop income contributed about two-third (664) of the total income of the farm families while about one-fifth (20) is added by wages and salaries Share of the livestock income was 75 per cent while contribution of transfer and rental incomes was 37 per cent Zone wise details of sources of income are given in Table 2

Figures 1 to 4 show shares of major and minor crops in the total income of poor and non-poor farm families In rice-wheat zone share of minor crops in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (6) than that of poor farmers (3) see Fig 1 and 2 In other words in rice-wheat zone share of grain crops in the income of poor farmers was greater than non-poor ones Similarly in mixed-cropping zone share of minor crop in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (29) than that of poor farmers (8) see Fig 3 and 4)

Due to lack of employment opportunities in the farm sector share of non-farm income in the income of rural households is rising Adams et al (1995) observed that the non-farm sector was the most important source of income in rural areas of Pakistan and indicated that self-employment unskilled labour

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)

Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majority of poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone

Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2)

Poverty Indices

Head Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone

Agricultural Production

Identification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop

Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458) In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

Fertilizer application levels for major crops were significantly different across the two zones however use of phosphorus for rice crop was quite same across both zones Moreover mean application of nutrients for wheat crop were also similar across zone Average applications of fertilizer nutrients for sugarcane and rice crops were relatively higher in mixed-cropping zone as compared to rice-wheat-zone Farmers were applying imbalanced and low level of fertilizers in the study area On the whole per cent gaps between the recommended and actual levels of fertilizer nutrients applications were 42 47 and 62 per cent for wheat rice and sugarcane crops respectively The mean application of nitrogen phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177

Table 5 Fertilizer use in major crops by cropping zones (kgsAc)

and are significant at 1 and 5 levels respectively

Table 6 Gaps between obtained and potential yields

and are significant at 1 and 5 levels respectively

phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended dosages of 55 32 and 25 kilograms per acre respectively Average usages of N P and K fertilizers for wheat crop were 515 260 and 04 kilograms per acre against the recommended dosages of 64 46 and 25 kilogram per acre respectively (Table 5) Thus farmers apply lows doses of fertilizers to major crops in both the cropping zones Main reasons to use low levels of fertilizers reported by the farmers were non-availability black marketing and high prices of fertilizers especially at sowing times

Mean sugarcane yield obtained by the farmers in mixed-cropping zone was relatively higher as compared to farmers of rice-wheat zone Average yield of sugarcane in the study area was 7061 maunds per acre which was less than potential yield of 1082 maunds per acre by 347 per cent Average yield of rice crop was 357 maunds per acre and yield gap for rice crop was 504 per cent Average yield of wheat obtained by the growers in the study area was 357 maunds per acre which was less than the potential yield by 405 per cent

Conclusion and Recommendations

Almost one-third of farm population was poor in the study area Poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Aggregate poverty deficit of poor in mixed-cropping zone was more than in rice-wheat zone Likewise poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Incidence of poverty was more in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone inspite of use of better quality seed and application of higher dosages of fertilizers by the farmers in this zone than in rice-wheat zone There are many reasons for this yield of major crop was quite similar across both zones percentage of the large farmers and mean holding of the sample farmers was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone share of crop income in the total family income was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone Moreover incidence of poverty not only depends on the land ownership but also on many other factors viz quality of land and its productivity availability of water fit for irrigation dependency ratio income diversification and transfer incomes etc In the study area crop yield gaps between actual and potential ones were 35-50 per cent Main reasons of low yields were less than recommended seed use imbalanced and less than recommend application of fertilizers high prices of agricultural inputs and adulterated agro-chemicals etc On the output side low prices of the produce lack of transportation and storage facilities were perceived as main problems by the farmers As the crop income contributes about two-third in the total income of farm families thus increase in agricultural productivity is essential for increasing crop earnings of the farmers and to lower the rural poverty in the province Since the increasing prices of agricultural inputs have eroded farmersrsquo purchasing power thus they have chosen to cut on inputs use To improve the situation authorities should strictly penalize hoarders of fertilizers and control overpricing of fertilizers and agro-chemicals This is necessary to transfer the subsidies provided to the fertilizer companies by the government to the farmers in a real sense

Introduction

In developing countries of Asia dominant share of their population is living in the rural areas and

incidence of poverty in these countries is observed higher in rural areas than in urban areas despite the recent trend of increasing urban poverty (CIRDP 2010) The dimensions and dynamics of poverty may be extreme as well as relative Extreme poverty which threatens peoplersquos health or lives is also known as absolute poverty Extreme poverty in developing nations as defined by the international organizations means having a per capita income of less than US $ 1 per day (Encarta 2005) Poverty in Pakistan increased from 261 in 1990-91 to 321 in 2000-01 Rural poverty in the country became more prevalent than urban poverty after 1993-94 (GOP 2011) Consumption based absolute poverty indices were reported at 231 at overall basis and 284 for rural areas (GOP 2005) There is a phenomenal increase in the poverty incidence in the country in recent years Official figures of poverty were 23 per cent in year 2008 and 38 per cent in year 2009 Most of the independent researchers however put the even higher by three to four per cent (Khan 2011)

Agricultural development is critically important for poverty alleviation as 62 of the population lives in rural areas directly or indirectly depends on agriculture Agriculture sector continues to play a central role in Pakistanrsquos economy It is the second largest sector accounting for over 21 per cent of GDP (GOP 2011) Our crop yields are only 30-33 what they are in developed countries and this obviously is cause of rural poverty (Panhwar 2005) However national average crop yields of the country are still 56-84 below the demonstrated potentials For instance the gap between actual and potential yield of wheat is 72 sugarcane 74 rice 84 cotton (lint) 56 maize 73 pulses 86 and edible oilseeds 77 (Khan 2004)

The available international literature on the relationship between overall economic growth and poverty reduction is some what ambiguous whereas the relationship between agricultural growth and poverty reduction is generally positive and much clear In addition to direct effect of agricultural growth on poverty reduction there is a much larger indirect effect through the linkages between agriculture and non-farm growth (Mellor 2001) Review of literature shows that low crop yields in Pakistan may be attributed to inefficient use of fertilizers injudicious use of agro-chemicals poor quality seed low seed use conventional sowing method and poor management of agro-practices Although technology development and adoption of technical crop production packages are in progress but their pace is quite low The problem is more severe with the small farmers constrained by meager resources and who are left with little savings for investment on the improvement of their farms Successive governments in Pakistan have used the state machinery and resources in variety of ways to mitigate the ever daunting and perpetual challenge of poverty but without much success Poverty is still burgeoning and expanding Therefore this study was carried out to determine poverty status of rural farm families in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone of the Punjab province with the following specific objectives

i To study the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers

ii To analyze the income sources and determine the poverty status of rural farm families

iii To find out input use levels and to determine yield gaps for major crops and to suggest recommendations for increasing crop productivity and poverty reduction

Materials and Methods

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 from mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat cropping zone of Punjab The study area was consisted of six districts three from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura and three from mixed-cropping zone viz Faisalabad Jhang and Toba Tek Singh A multistage-cum-random sampling technique was used for this study In first stage three districts from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Sheikhupura and Gujranwala and three districts from mixed-cropping zone viz Jhang Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were selected In second stage one tehsil from each district was selected and in third stage one union council from each tehsil was chosen In total 304 respondents (153 from rice-wheat zone and 151 from mixed-cropping zone) were randomly interviewed Three questionnaires were dropped during data analysis due to incomplete information thus total sample size was 301 An interviewing schedule was prepared for the collection of primary data through personal interviews on different variables affecting the livelihood of farmers eg income from different sources production practices and input use for major crops etc

Official poverty line of Pakistan was Rs74856 per adult equivalent per month based on 2000-01 prices After adding up the changes in inflation from 2000- 2004 the poverty line at 2004 prices was placed at Rs84878 per equivalentmonth (GOP 2004) Families with per capita income of less than Rs 84878 per month were considered poor and those with per capita income greater than Rs 84878 per month were considered as non-poor Foster Greer and Thorbeck (1984) class of poverty measures were applied for the analysis of primary data The poverty measures related to this class were described as head-count ratio poverty gap index and squared poverty gap

Head-count ratio denoted by lsquoHrsquo was based on poverty line that was established by costing a minimum basket of goods for basic human survival using income or consumption data (Chaudhry 1985) It was the proportion of population for which consumption (or another suitable measure of living standard) lsquoyrsquo is less than poverty line lsquozrsquo Suppose lsquoqrsquo people are poor by this definition in a population of size lsquonrsquo Then head-count index is

H = qn = proportion of total population deemed to be poor

However head-count index was totally insensitive to differences in the depth of poverty Thus depth of poverty was measured by poverty-gap index (PGI) This was based on the aggregate poverty deficit of the poor relative to the poverty line PGI gave a good indication of the depth of poverty in that it measured the degree to which mean income of the poor differed from the established poverty line To see how this measure was defined let incomes be arranged in ascending order the poorest has lsquoy1rsquo the next poorest lsquoy2rsquo etc with the least poor having lsquoyqrsquo Which was (by definition) no greater than the poverty line lsquozrsquo Then the poverty gap index can be defined as follows

PG = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]q = Mean proportionate poverty gap across the whole

i=1 population (zero gap for the non-poor)

But one drawback of the poverty gap measure was that it may not convincingly capture the difference in the severity of poverty To determine this aspect of poverty squared poverty gap index (P2) was used It was measured by formula as

P2 = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]2q = mean of squared proportionate poverty gap i=1

Both for descriptive and statistical analysis of the data SPSS package was used

Results and Discussion

Socio-economic Characteristics of the Farmers

Mean ages of the respondents in rice-wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were 49 years and 42 years respectively Farmers in rice-wheat zone were comparatively more experienced than in mixed-cropping zone Mean experience of the farmers was 28 years in rice-wheat zone and 21 years in mixed-cropping zone However mean education of the respondents was same across the zones (8 years) Average family size of the sample farmers was thirteen and ten in rice-wheat and mixed-cropping zones respectively

Tenancy characteristics of the farmers in the study area were quite similar across cropping zones as 86 of the farmers were owner cultivators 8 were owner-cum-tenants and 6 were tenants (Table 1) Poverty is strongly correlated with lack of land which is the principal asset in the rural economy of Pakistan (Anwar et al 2004) Household assets such as land ownership value of livestock reduce the chance of being poor (Hashmi et al 2008) Distribution of farmers by farm size categories was significantly different across the two zones Percentage of the small farmers was same in both the zones (61) whereas percentage of medium farmers was greater in mixed-cropping zone and that of large farmers was greater in the rice-wheat zone Average operational holding of the farmers was 172 acres in rice-wheat zone and 142 acres in mixed-cropping zone (Table 1)

Sources of Income and Share of Different Crops in the Crop Income by Zone

Sources of income have great implication in determining the chances of any household being poor or otherwise Malik (2005) defined five major sources of income in rural Pakistan viz wagessalaries transfer income crop Income rental income and livestock income In the surveyed zones crop income contributed about two-third (664) of the total income of the farm families while about one-fifth (20) is added by wages and salaries Share of the livestock income was 75 per cent while contribution of transfer and rental incomes was 37 per cent Zone wise details of sources of income are given in Table 2

Figures 1 to 4 show shares of major and minor crops in the total income of poor and non-poor farm families In rice-wheat zone share of minor crops in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (6) than that of poor farmers (3) see Fig 1 and 2 In other words in rice-wheat zone share of grain crops in the income of poor farmers was greater than non-poor ones Similarly in mixed-cropping zone share of minor crop in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (29) than that of poor farmers (8) see Fig 3 and 4)

Due to lack of employment opportunities in the farm sector share of non-farm income in the income of rural households is rising Adams et al (1995) observed that the non-farm sector was the most important source of income in rural areas of Pakistan and indicated that self-employment unskilled labour

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)

Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majority of poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone

Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2)

Poverty Indices

Head Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone

Agricultural Production

Identification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop

Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458) In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

Fertilizer application levels for major crops were significantly different across the two zones however use of phosphorus for rice crop was quite same across both zones Moreover mean application of nutrients for wheat crop were also similar across zone Average applications of fertilizer nutrients for sugarcane and rice crops were relatively higher in mixed-cropping zone as compared to rice-wheat-zone Farmers were applying imbalanced and low level of fertilizers in the study area On the whole per cent gaps between the recommended and actual levels of fertilizer nutrients applications were 42 47 and 62 per cent for wheat rice and sugarcane crops respectively The mean application of nitrogen phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177

Table 6 Gaps between obtained and potential yields

and are significant at 1 and 5 levels respectively

phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended dosages of 55 32 and 25 kilograms per acre respectively Average usages of N P and K fertilizers for wheat crop were 515 260 and 04 kilograms per acre against the recommended dosages of 64 46 and 25 kilogram per acre respectively (Table 5) Thus farmers apply lows doses of fertilizers to major crops in both the cropping zones Main reasons to use low levels of fertilizers reported by the farmers were non-availability black marketing and high prices of fertilizers especially at sowing times

Mean sugarcane yield obtained by the farmers in mixed-cropping zone was relatively higher as compared to farmers of rice-wheat zone Average yield of sugarcane in the study area was 7061 maunds per acre which was less than potential yield of 1082 maunds per acre by 347 per cent Average yield of rice crop was 357 maunds per acre and yield gap for rice crop was 504 per cent Average yield of wheat obtained by the growers in the study area was 357 maunds per acre which was less than the potential yield by 405 per cent

Conclusion and Recommendations

Almost one-third of farm population was poor in the study area Poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Aggregate poverty deficit of poor in mixed-cropping zone was more than in rice-wheat zone Likewise poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Incidence of poverty was more in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone inspite of use of better quality seed and application of higher dosages of fertilizers by the farmers in this zone than in rice-wheat zone There are many reasons for this yield of major crop was quite similar across both zones percentage of the large farmers and mean holding of the sample farmers was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone share of crop income in the total family income was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone Moreover incidence of poverty not only depends on the land ownership but also on many other factors viz quality of land and its productivity availability of water fit for irrigation dependency ratio income diversification and transfer incomes etc In the study area crop yield gaps between actual and potential ones were 35-50 per cent Main reasons of low yields were less than recommended seed use imbalanced and less than recommend application of fertilizers high prices of agricultural inputs and adulterated agro-chemicals etc On the output side low prices of the produce lack of transportation and storage facilities were perceived as main problems by the farmers As the crop income contributes about two-third in the total income of farm families thus increase in agricultural productivity is essential for increasing crop earnings of the farmers and to lower the rural poverty in the province Since the increasing prices of agricultural inputs have eroded farmersrsquo purchasing power thus they have chosen to cut on inputs use To improve the situation authorities should strictly penalize hoarders of fertilizers and control overpricing of fertilizers and agro-chemicals This is necessary to transfer the subsidies provided to the fertilizer companies by the government to the farmers in a real sense

Abstract

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 in order to analyze income sources poverty status and crop productivity of farmer families in the selected districts of rice-wheat zone (Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura) and mixed-cropping zone (Faisalabd Jhang and Toba Tek Singh) of Punjab Pakistan Three-hundred farmers fifty farmers each district were randomly interviewed for this study It was found that yields of major crops were 35-50 per cent less than the potential anticipated yields Moreover yield gaps for the major crops were almost same across both zones Use of last yearrsquos non-graded crop produce as seed less than recommended seed use and fertilizers application were the main reasons of yield gaps Analysis of the sources of income revealed that crop income accounted for about two-third of the total income of farm families It was estimated that 34 and 28 of the rural farm people were poor in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone respectively Poverty gap indices for farm people of mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Similarly income inequality amongst poor in the mixed-cropping zone was more than in the rice-wheat zone Thus incidence of rural poverty was more severe in the mixed-cropping zone than in the rice-wheat-zone Farmers with income above poverty level had more diversified cropping patterns and share of minor crops in their crop income was greater than farmers with income below the poverty level

Introduction

In developing countries of Asia dominant share of their population is living in the rural areas and

incidence of poverty in these countries is observed higher in rural areas than in urban areas despite the recent trend of increasing urban poverty (CIRDP 2010) The dimensions and dynamics of poverty may be extreme as well as relative Extreme poverty which threatens peoplersquos health or lives is also known as absolute poverty Extreme poverty in developing nations as defined by the international organizations means having a per capita income of less than US $ 1 per day (Encarta 2005) Poverty in Pakistan increased from 261 in 1990-91 to 321 in 2000-01 Rural poverty in the country became more prevalent than urban poverty after 1993-94 (GOP 2011) Consumption based absolute poverty indices were reported at 231 at overall basis and 284 for rural areas (GOP 2005) There is a phenomenal increase in the poverty incidence in the country in recent years Official figures of poverty were 23 per cent in year 2008 and 38 per cent in year 2009 Most of the independent researchers however put the even higher by three to four per cent (Khan 2011)

Agricultural development is critically important for poverty alleviation as 62 of the population lives in rural areas directly or indirectly depends on agriculture Agriculture sector continues to play a central role in Pakistanrsquos economy It is the second largest sector accounting for over 21 per cent of GDP (GOP 2011) Our crop yields are only 30-33 what they are in developed countries and this obviously is cause of rural poverty (Panhwar 2005) However national average crop yields of the country are still 56-84 below the demonstrated potentials For instance the gap between actual and potential yield of wheat is 72 sugarcane 74 rice 84 cotton (lint) 56 maize 73 pulses 86 and edible oilseeds 77 (Khan 2004)

The available international literature on the relationship between overall economic growth and poverty reduction is some what ambiguous whereas the relationship between agricultural growth and poverty reduction is generally positive and much clear In addition to direct effect of agricultural growth on poverty reduction there is a much larger indirect effect through the linkages between agriculture and non-farm growth (Mellor 2001) Review of literature shows that low crop yields in Pakistan may be attributed to inefficient use of fertilizers injudicious use of agro-chemicals poor quality seed low seed use conventional sowing method and poor management of agro-practices Although technology development and adoption of technical crop production packages are in progress but their pace is quite low The problem is more severe with the small farmers constrained by meager resources and who are left with little savings for investment on the improvement of their farms Successive governments in Pakistan have used the state machinery and resources in variety of ways to mitigate the ever daunting and perpetual challenge of poverty but without much success Poverty is still burgeoning and expanding Therefore this study was carried out to determine poverty status of rural farm families in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone of the Punjab province with the following specific objectives

i To study the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers

ii To analyze the income sources and determine the poverty status of rural farm families

iii To find out input use levels and to determine yield gaps for major crops and to suggest recommendations for increasing crop productivity and poverty reduction

Materials and Methods

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 from mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat cropping zone of Punjab The study area was consisted of six districts three from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura and three from mixed-cropping zone viz Faisalabad Jhang and Toba Tek Singh A multistage-cum-random sampling technique was used for this study In first stage three districts from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Sheikhupura and Gujranwala and three districts from mixed-cropping zone viz Jhang Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were selected In second stage one tehsil from each district was selected and in third stage one union council from each tehsil was chosen In total 304 respondents (153 from rice-wheat zone and 151 from mixed-cropping zone) were randomly interviewed Three questionnaires were dropped during data analysis due to incomplete information thus total sample size was 301 An interviewing schedule was prepared for the collection of primary data through personal interviews on different variables affecting the livelihood of farmers eg income from different sources production practices and input use for major crops etc

Official poverty line of Pakistan was Rs74856 per adult equivalent per month based on 2000-01 prices After adding up the changes in inflation from 2000- 2004 the poverty line at 2004 prices was placed at Rs84878 per equivalentmonth (GOP 2004) Families with per capita income of less than Rs 84878 per month were considered poor and those with per capita income greater than Rs 84878 per month were considered as non-poor Foster Greer and Thorbeck (1984) class of poverty measures were applied for the analysis of primary data The poverty measures related to this class were described as head-count ratio poverty gap index and squared poverty gap

Head-count ratio denoted by lsquoHrsquo was based on poverty line that was established by costing a minimum basket of goods for basic human survival using income or consumption data (Chaudhry 1985) It was the proportion of population for which consumption (or another suitable measure of living standard) lsquoyrsquo is less than poverty line lsquozrsquo Suppose lsquoqrsquo people are poor by this definition in a population of size lsquonrsquo Then head-count index is

H = qn = proportion of total population deemed to be poor

However head-count index was totally insensitive to differences in the depth of poverty Thus depth of poverty was measured by poverty-gap index (PGI) This was based on the aggregate poverty deficit of the poor relative to the poverty line PGI gave a good indication of the depth of poverty in that it measured the degree to which mean income of the poor differed from the established poverty line To see how this measure was defined let incomes be arranged in ascending order the poorest has lsquoy1rsquo the next poorest lsquoy2rsquo etc with the least poor having lsquoyqrsquo Which was (by definition) no greater than the poverty line lsquozrsquo Then the poverty gap index can be defined as follows

PG = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]q = Mean proportionate poverty gap across the whole

i=1 population (zero gap for the non-poor)

But one drawback of the poverty gap measure was that it may not convincingly capture the difference in the severity of poverty To determine this aspect of poverty squared poverty gap index (P2) was used It was measured by formula as

P2 = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]2q = mean of squared proportionate poverty gap i=1

Both for descriptive and statistical analysis of the data SPSS package was used

Results and Discussion

Socio-economic Characteristics of the Farmers

Mean ages of the respondents in rice-wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were 49 years and 42 years respectively Farmers in rice-wheat zone were comparatively more experienced than in mixed-cropping zone Mean experience of the farmers was 28 years in rice-wheat zone and 21 years in mixed-cropping zone However mean education of the respondents was same across the zones (8 years) Average family size of the sample farmers was thirteen and ten in rice-wheat and mixed-cropping zones respectively

Tenancy characteristics of the farmers in the study area were quite similar across cropping zones as 86 of the farmers were owner cultivators 8 were owner-cum-tenants and 6 were tenants (Table 1) Poverty is strongly correlated with lack of land which is the principal asset in the rural economy of Pakistan (Anwar et al 2004) Household assets such as land ownership value of livestock reduce the chance of being poor (Hashmi et al 2008) Distribution of farmers by farm size categories was significantly different across the two zones Percentage of the small farmers was same in both the zones (61) whereas percentage of medium farmers was greater in mixed-cropping zone and that of large farmers was greater in the rice-wheat zone Average operational holding of the farmers was 172 acres in rice-wheat zone and 142 acres in mixed-cropping zone (Table 1)

Sources of Income and Share of Different Crops in the Crop Income by Zone

Sources of income have great implication in determining the chances of any household being poor or otherwise Malik (2005) defined five major sources of income in rural Pakistan viz wagessalaries transfer income crop Income rental income and livestock income In the surveyed zones crop income contributed about two-third (664) of the total income of the farm families while about one-fifth (20) is added by wages and salaries Share of the livestock income was 75 per cent while contribution of transfer and rental incomes was 37 per cent Zone wise details of sources of income are given in Table 2

Figures 1 to 4 show shares of major and minor crops in the total income of poor and non-poor farm families In rice-wheat zone share of minor crops in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (6) than that of poor farmers (3) see Fig 1 and 2 In other words in rice-wheat zone share of grain crops in the income of poor farmers was greater than non-poor ones Similarly in mixed-cropping zone share of minor crop in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (29) than that of poor farmers (8) see Fig 3 and 4)

Due to lack of employment opportunities in the farm sector share of non-farm income in the income of rural households is rising Adams et al (1995) observed that the non-farm sector was the most important source of income in rural areas of Pakistan and indicated that self-employment unskilled labour

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)

Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majority of poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone

Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2)

Poverty Indices

Head Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone

Agricultural Production

Identification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop

Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458) In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

Fertilizer application levels for major crops were significantly different across the two zones however use of phosphorus for rice crop was quite same across both zones Moreover mean application of nutrients for wheat crop were also similar across zone Average applications of fertilizer nutrients for sugarcane and rice crops were relatively higher in mixed-cropping zone as compared to rice-wheat-zone Farmers were applying imbalanced and low level of fertilizers in the study area On the whole per cent gaps between the recommended and actual levels of fertilizer nutrients applications were 42 47 and 62 per cent for wheat rice and sugarcane crops respectively The mean application of nitrogen phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177

phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended dosages of 55 32 and 25 kilograms per acre respectively Average usages of N P and K fertilizers for wheat crop were 515 260 and 04 kilograms per acre against the recommended dosages of 64 46 and 25 kilogram per acre respectively (Table 5) Thus farmers apply lows doses of fertilizers to major crops in both the cropping zones Main reasons to use low levels of fertilizers reported by the farmers were non-availability black marketing and high prices of fertilizers especially at sowing times

Mean sugarcane yield obtained by the farmers in mixed-cropping zone was relatively higher as compared to farmers of rice-wheat zone Average yield of sugarcane in the study area was 7061 maunds per acre which was less than potential yield of 1082 maunds per acre by 347 per cent Average yield of rice crop was 357 maunds per acre and yield gap for rice crop was 504 per cent Average yield of wheat obtained by the growers in the study area was 357 maunds per acre which was less than the potential yield by 405 per cent

Conclusion and Recommendations

Almost one-third of farm population was poor in the study area Poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Aggregate poverty deficit of poor in mixed-cropping zone was more than in rice-wheat zone Likewise poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Incidence of poverty was more in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone inspite of use of better quality seed and application of higher dosages of fertilizers by the farmers in this zone than in rice-wheat zone There are many reasons for this yield of major crop was quite similar across both zones percentage of the large farmers and mean holding of the sample farmers was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone share of crop income in the total family income was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone Moreover incidence of poverty not only depends on the land ownership but also on many other factors viz quality of land and its productivity availability of water fit for irrigation dependency ratio income diversification and transfer incomes etc In the study area crop yield gaps between actual and potential ones were 35-50 per cent Main reasons of low yields were less than recommended seed use imbalanced and less than recommend application of fertilizers high prices of agricultural inputs and adulterated agro-chemicals etc On the output side low prices of the produce lack of transportation and storage facilities were perceived as main problems by the farmers As the crop income contributes about two-third in the total income of farm families thus increase in agricultural productivity is essential for increasing crop earnings of the farmers and to lower the rural poverty in the province Since the increasing prices of agricultural inputs have eroded farmersrsquo purchasing power thus they have chosen to cut on inputs use To improve the situation authorities should strictly penalize hoarders of fertilizers and control overpricing of fertilizers and agro-chemicals This is necessary to transfer the subsidies provided to the fertilizer companies by the government to the farmers in a real sense

Abstract

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 in order to analyze income sources poverty status and crop productivity of farmer families in the selected districts of rice-wheat zone (Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura) and mixed-cropping zone (Faisalabd Jhang and Toba Tek Singh) of Punjab Pakistan Three-hundred farmers fifty farmers each district were randomly interviewed for this study It was found that yields of major crops were 35-50 per cent less than the potential anticipated yields Moreover yield gaps for the major crops were almost same across both zones Use of last yearrsquos non-graded crop produce as seed less than recommended seed use and fertilizers application were the main reasons of yield gaps Analysis of the sources of income revealed that crop income accounted for about two-third of the total income of farm families It was estimated that 34 and 28 of the rural farm people were poor in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone respectively Poverty gap indices for farm people of mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Similarly income inequality amongst poor in the mixed-cropping zone was more than in the rice-wheat zone Thus incidence of rural poverty was more severe in the mixed-cropping zone than in the rice-wheat-zone Farmers with income above poverty level had more diversified cropping patterns and share of minor crops in their crop income was greater than farmers with income below the poverty level

Introduction

In developing countries of Asia dominant share of their population is living in the rural areas and

incidence of poverty in these countries is observed higher in rural areas than in urban areas despite the recent trend of increasing urban poverty (CIRDP 2010) The dimensions and dynamics of poverty may be extreme as well as relative Extreme poverty which threatens peoplersquos health or lives is also known as absolute poverty Extreme poverty in developing nations as defined by the international organizations means having a per capita income of less than US $ 1 per day (Encarta 2005) Poverty in Pakistan increased from 261 in 1990-91 to 321 in 2000-01 Rural poverty in the country became more prevalent than urban poverty after 1993-94 (GOP 2011) Consumption based absolute poverty indices were reported at 231 at overall basis and 284 for rural areas (GOP 2005) There is a phenomenal increase in the poverty incidence in the country in recent years Official figures of poverty were 23 per cent in year 2008 and 38 per cent in year 2009 Most of the independent researchers however put the even higher by three to four per cent (Khan 2011)

Agricultural development is critically important for poverty alleviation as 62 of the population lives in rural areas directly or indirectly depends on agriculture Agriculture sector continues to play a central role in Pakistanrsquos economy It is the second largest sector accounting for over 21 per cent of GDP (GOP 2011) Our crop yields are only 30-33 what they are in developed countries and this obviously is cause of rural poverty (Panhwar 2005) However national average crop yields of the country are still 56-84 below the demonstrated potentials For instance the gap between actual and potential yield of wheat is 72 sugarcane 74 rice 84 cotton (lint) 56 maize 73 pulses 86 and edible oilseeds 77 (Khan 2004)

The available international literature on the relationship between overall economic growth and poverty reduction is some what ambiguous whereas the relationship between agricultural growth and poverty reduction is generally positive and much clear In addition to direct effect of agricultural growth on poverty reduction there is a much larger indirect effect through the linkages between agriculture and non-farm growth (Mellor 2001) Review of literature shows that low crop yields in Pakistan may be attributed to inefficient use of fertilizers injudicious use of agro-chemicals poor quality seed low seed use conventional sowing method and poor management of agro-practices Although technology development and adoption of technical crop production packages are in progress but their pace is quite low The problem is more severe with the small farmers constrained by meager resources and who are left with little savings for investment on the improvement of their farms Successive governments in Pakistan have used the state machinery and resources in variety of ways to mitigate the ever daunting and perpetual challenge of poverty but without much success Poverty is still burgeoning and expanding Therefore this study was carried out to determine poverty status of rural farm families in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone of the Punjab province with the following specific objectives

i To study the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers

ii To analyze the income sources and determine the poverty status of rural farm families

iii To find out input use levels and to determine yield gaps for major crops and to suggest recommendations for increasing crop productivity and poverty reduction

Materials and Methods

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 from mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat cropping zone of Punjab The study area was consisted of six districts three from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura and three from mixed-cropping zone viz Faisalabad Jhang and Toba Tek Singh A multistage-cum-random sampling technique was used for this study In first stage three districts from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Sheikhupura and Gujranwala and three districts from mixed-cropping zone viz Jhang Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were selected In second stage one tehsil from each district was selected and in third stage one union council from each tehsil was chosen In total 304 respondents (153 from rice-wheat zone and 151 from mixed-cropping zone) were randomly interviewed Three questionnaires were dropped during data analysis due to incomplete information thus total sample size was 301 An interviewing schedule was prepared for the collection of primary data through personal interviews on different variables affecting the livelihood of farmers eg income from different sources production practices and input use for major crops etc

Official poverty line of Pakistan was Rs74856 per adult equivalent per month based on 2000-01 prices After adding up the changes in inflation from 2000- 2004 the poverty line at 2004 prices was placed at Rs84878 per equivalentmonth (GOP 2004) Families with per capita income of less than Rs 84878 per month were considered poor and those with per capita income greater than Rs 84878 per month were considered as non-poor Foster Greer and Thorbeck (1984) class of poverty measures were applied for the analysis of primary data The poverty measures related to this class were described as head-count ratio poverty gap index and squared poverty gap

Head-count ratio denoted by lsquoHrsquo was based on poverty line that was established by costing a minimum basket of goods for basic human survival using income or consumption data (Chaudhry 1985) It was the proportion of population for which consumption (or another suitable measure of living standard) lsquoyrsquo is less than poverty line lsquozrsquo Suppose lsquoqrsquo people are poor by this definition in a population of size lsquonrsquo Then head-count index is

H = qn = proportion of total population deemed to be poor

However head-count index was totally insensitive to differences in the depth of poverty Thus depth of poverty was measured by poverty-gap index (PGI) This was based on the aggregate poverty deficit of the poor relative to the poverty line PGI gave a good indication of the depth of poverty in that it measured the degree to which mean income of the poor differed from the established poverty line To see how this measure was defined let incomes be arranged in ascending order the poorest has lsquoy1rsquo the next poorest lsquoy2rsquo etc with the least poor having lsquoyqrsquo Which was (by definition) no greater than the poverty line lsquozrsquo Then the poverty gap index can be defined as follows

PG = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]q = Mean proportionate poverty gap across the whole

i=1 population (zero gap for the non-poor)

But one drawback of the poverty gap measure was that it may not convincingly capture the difference in the severity of poverty To determine this aspect of poverty squared poverty gap index (P2) was used It was measured by formula as

P2 = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]2q = mean of squared proportionate poverty gap i=1

Both for descriptive and statistical analysis of the data SPSS package was used

Results and Discussion

Socio-economic Characteristics of the Farmers

Mean ages of the respondents in rice-wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were 49 years and 42 years respectively Farmers in rice-wheat zone were comparatively more experienced than in mixed-cropping zone Mean experience of the farmers was 28 years in rice-wheat zone and 21 years in mixed-cropping zone However mean education of the respondents was same across the zones (8 years) Average family size of the sample farmers was thirteen and ten in rice-wheat and mixed-cropping zones respectively

Tenancy characteristics of the farmers in the study area were quite similar across cropping zones as 86 of the farmers were owner cultivators 8 were owner-cum-tenants and 6 were tenants (Table 1) Poverty is strongly correlated with lack of land which is the principal asset in the rural economy of Pakistan (Anwar et al 2004) Household assets such as land ownership value of livestock reduce the chance of being poor (Hashmi et al 2008) Distribution of farmers by farm size categories was significantly different across the two zones Percentage of the small farmers was same in both the zones (61) whereas percentage of medium farmers was greater in mixed-cropping zone and that of large farmers was greater in the rice-wheat zone Average operational holding of the farmers was 172 acres in rice-wheat zone and 142 acres in mixed-cropping zone (Table 1)

Sources of Income and Share of Different Crops in the Crop Income by Zone

Sources of income have great implication in determining the chances of any household being poor or otherwise Malik (2005) defined five major sources of income in rural Pakistan viz wagessalaries transfer income crop Income rental income and livestock income In the surveyed zones crop income contributed about two-third (664) of the total income of the farm families while about one-fifth (20) is added by wages and salaries Share of the livestock income was 75 per cent while contribution of transfer and rental incomes was 37 per cent Zone wise details of sources of income are given in Table 2

Figures 1 to 4 show shares of major and minor crops in the total income of poor and non-poor farm families In rice-wheat zone share of minor crops in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (6) than that of poor farmers (3) see Fig 1 and 2 In other words in rice-wheat zone share of grain crops in the income of poor farmers was greater than non-poor ones Similarly in mixed-cropping zone share of minor crop in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (29) than that of poor farmers (8) see Fig 3 and 4)

Due to lack of employment opportunities in the farm sector share of non-farm income in the income of rural households is rising Adams et al (1995) observed that the non-farm sector was the most important source of income in rural areas of Pakistan and indicated that self-employment unskilled labour

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)

Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majority of poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone

Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2)

Poverty Indices

Head Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone

Agricultural Production

Identification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop

Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458) In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

Fertilizer application levels for major crops were significantly different across the two zones however use of phosphorus for rice crop was quite same across both zones Moreover mean application of nutrients for wheat crop were also similar across zone Average applications of fertilizer nutrients for sugarcane and rice crops were relatively higher in mixed-cropping zone as compared to rice-wheat-zone Farmers were applying imbalanced and low level of fertilizers in the study area On the whole per cent gaps between the recommended and actual levels of fertilizer nutrients applications were 42 47 and 62 per cent for wheat rice and sugarcane crops respectively The mean application of nitrogen phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177

phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended dosages of 55 32 and 25 kilograms per acre respectively Average usages of N P and K fertilizers for wheat crop were 515 260 and 04 kilograms per acre against the recommended dosages of 64 46 and 25 kilogram per acre respectively (Table 5) Thus farmers apply lows doses of fertilizers to major crops in both the cropping zones Main reasons to use low levels of fertilizers reported by the farmers were non-availability black marketing and high prices of fertilizers especially at sowing times

Mean sugarcane yield obtained by the farmers in mixed-cropping zone was relatively higher as compared to farmers of rice-wheat zone Average yield of sugarcane in the study area was 7061 maunds per acre which was less than potential yield of 1082 maunds per acre by 347 per cent Average yield of rice crop was 357 maunds per acre and yield gap for rice crop was 504 per cent Average yield of wheat obtained by the growers in the study area was 357 maunds per acre which was less than the potential yield by 405 per cent

Conclusion and Recommendations

Almost one-third of farm population was poor in the study area Poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Aggregate poverty deficit of poor in mixed-cropping zone was more than in rice-wheat zone Likewise poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Incidence of poverty was more in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone inspite of use of better quality seed and application of higher dosages of fertilizers by the farmers in this zone than in rice-wheat zone There are many reasons for this yield of major crop was quite similar across both zones percentage of the large farmers and mean holding of the sample farmers was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone share of crop income in the total family income was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone Moreover incidence of poverty not only depends on the land ownership but also on many other factors viz quality of land and its productivity availability of water fit for irrigation dependency ratio income diversification and transfer incomes etc In the study area crop yield gaps between actual and potential ones were 35-50 per cent Main reasons of low yields were less than recommended seed use imbalanced and less than recommend application of fertilizers high prices of agricultural inputs and adulterated agro-chemicals etc On the output side low prices of the produce lack of transportation and storage facilities were perceived as main problems by the farmers As the crop income contributes about two-third in the total income of farm families thus increase in agricultural productivity is essential for increasing crop earnings of the farmers and to lower the rural poverty in the province Since the increasing prices of agricultural inputs have eroded farmersrsquo purchasing power thus they have chosen to cut on inputs use To improve the situation authorities should strictly penalize hoarders of fertilizers and control overpricing of fertilizers and agro-chemicals This is necessary to transfer the subsidies provided to the fertilizer companies by the government to the farmers in a real sense

Abstract

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 in order to analyze income sources poverty status and crop productivity of farmer families in the selected districts of rice-wheat zone (Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura) and mixed-cropping zone (Faisalabd Jhang and Toba Tek Singh) of Punjab Pakistan Three-hundred farmers fifty farmers each district were randomly interviewed for this study It was found that yields of major crops were 35-50 per cent less than the potential anticipated yields Moreover yield gaps for the major crops were almost same across both zones Use of last yearrsquos non-graded crop produce as seed less than recommended seed use and fertilizers application were the main reasons of yield gaps Analysis of the sources of income revealed that crop income accounted for about two-third of the total income of farm families It was estimated that 34 and 28 of the rural farm people were poor in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone respectively Poverty gap indices for farm people of mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Similarly income inequality amongst poor in the mixed-cropping zone was more than in the rice-wheat zone Thus incidence of rural poverty was more severe in the mixed-cropping zone than in the rice-wheat-zone Farmers with income above poverty level had more diversified cropping patterns and share of minor crops in their crop income was greater than farmers with income below the poverty level

Introduction

In developing countries of Asia dominant share of their population is living in the rural areas and

incidence of poverty in these countries is observed higher in rural areas than in urban areas despite the recent trend of increasing urban poverty (CIRDP 2010) The dimensions and dynamics of poverty may be extreme as well as relative Extreme poverty which threatens peoplersquos health or lives is also known as absolute poverty Extreme poverty in developing nations as defined by the international organizations means having a per capita income of less than US $ 1 per day (Encarta 2005) Poverty in Pakistan increased from 261 in 1990-91 to 321 in 2000-01 Rural poverty in the country became more prevalent than urban poverty after 1993-94 (GOP 2011) Consumption based absolute poverty indices were reported at 231 at overall basis and 284 for rural areas (GOP 2005) There is a phenomenal increase in the poverty incidence in the country in recent years Official figures of poverty were 23 per cent in year 2008 and 38 per cent in year 2009 Most of the independent researchers however put the even higher by three to four per cent (Khan 2011)

Agricultural development is critically important for poverty alleviation as 62 of the population lives in rural areas directly or indirectly depends on agriculture Agriculture sector continues to play a central role in Pakistanrsquos economy It is the second largest sector accounting for over 21 per cent of GDP (GOP 2011) Our crop yields are only 30-33 what they are in developed countries and this obviously is cause of rural poverty (Panhwar 2005) However national average crop yields of the country are still 56-84 below the demonstrated potentials For instance the gap between actual and potential yield of wheat is 72 sugarcane 74 rice 84 cotton (lint) 56 maize 73 pulses 86 and edible oilseeds 77 (Khan 2004)

The available international literature on the relationship between overall economic growth and poverty reduction is some what ambiguous whereas the relationship between agricultural growth and poverty reduction is generally positive and much clear In addition to direct effect of agricultural growth on poverty reduction there is a much larger indirect effect through the linkages between agriculture and non-farm growth (Mellor 2001) Review of literature shows that low crop yields in Pakistan may be attributed to inefficient use of fertilizers injudicious use of agro-chemicals poor quality seed low seed use conventional sowing method and poor management of agro-practices Although technology development and adoption of technical crop production packages are in progress but their pace is quite low The problem is more severe with the small farmers constrained by meager resources and who are left with little savings for investment on the improvement of their farms Successive governments in Pakistan have used the state machinery and resources in variety of ways to mitigate the ever daunting and perpetual challenge of poverty but without much success Poverty is still burgeoning and expanding Therefore this study was carried out to determine poverty status of rural farm families in mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone of the Punjab province with the following specific objectives

i To study the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers

ii To analyze the income sources and determine the poverty status of rural farm families

iii To find out input use levels and to determine yield gaps for major crops and to suggest recommendations for increasing crop productivity and poverty reduction

Materials and Methods

This study was conducted in 2007 based on cross sectional data collected during 2004-05 from mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat cropping zone of Punjab The study area was consisted of six districts three from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Gujranwala and Sheikhupura and three from mixed-cropping zone viz Faisalabad Jhang and Toba Tek Singh A multistage-cum-random sampling technique was used for this study In first stage three districts from rice-wheat zone viz Sialkot Sheikhupura and Gujranwala and three districts from mixed-cropping zone viz Jhang Toba Tek Singh and Faisalabad were selected In second stage one tehsil from each district was selected and in third stage one union council from each tehsil was chosen In total 304 respondents (153 from rice-wheat zone and 151 from mixed-cropping zone) were randomly interviewed Three questionnaires were dropped during data analysis due to incomplete information thus total sample size was 301 An interviewing schedule was prepared for the collection of primary data through personal interviews on different variables affecting the livelihood of farmers eg income from different sources production practices and input use for major crops etc

Official poverty line of Pakistan was Rs74856 per adult equivalent per month based on 2000-01 prices After adding up the changes in inflation from 2000- 2004 the poverty line at 2004 prices was placed at Rs84878 per equivalentmonth (GOP 2004) Families with per capita income of less than Rs 84878 per month were considered poor and those with per capita income greater than Rs 84878 per month were considered as non-poor Foster Greer and Thorbeck (1984) class of poverty measures were applied for the analysis of primary data The poverty measures related to this class were described as head-count ratio poverty gap index and squared poverty gap

Head-count ratio denoted by lsquoHrsquo was based on poverty line that was established by costing a minimum basket of goods for basic human survival using income or consumption data (Chaudhry 1985) It was the proportion of population for which consumption (or another suitable measure of living standard) lsquoyrsquo is less than poverty line lsquozrsquo Suppose lsquoqrsquo people are poor by this definition in a population of size lsquonrsquo Then head-count index is

H = qn = proportion of total population deemed to be poor

However head-count index was totally insensitive to differences in the depth of poverty Thus depth of poverty was measured by poverty-gap index (PGI) This was based on the aggregate poverty deficit of the poor relative to the poverty line PGI gave a good indication of the depth of poverty in that it measured the degree to which mean income of the poor differed from the established poverty line To see how this measure was defined let incomes be arranged in ascending order the poorest has lsquoy1rsquo the next poorest lsquoy2rsquo etc with the least poor having lsquoyqrsquo Which was (by definition) no greater than the poverty line lsquozrsquo Then the poverty gap index can be defined as follows

PG = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]q = Mean proportionate poverty gap across the whole

i=1 population (zero gap for the non-poor)

But one drawback of the poverty gap measure was that it may not convincingly capture the difference in the severity of poverty To determine this aspect of poverty squared poverty gap index (P2) was used It was measured by formula as

P2 = 1 n ( [(z-yi)z]2q = mean of squared proportionate poverty gap i=1

Both for descriptive and statistical analysis of the data SPSS package was used

Results and Discussion

Socio-economic Characteristics of the Farmers

Mean ages of the respondents in rice-wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were 49 years and 42 years respectively Farmers in rice-wheat zone were comparatively more experienced than in mixed-cropping zone Mean experience of the farmers was 28 years in rice-wheat zone and 21 years in mixed-cropping zone However mean education of the respondents was same across the zones (8 years) Average family size of the sample farmers was thirteen and ten in rice-wheat and mixed-cropping zones respectively

Tenancy characteristics of the farmers in the study area were quite similar across cropping zones as 86 of the farmers were owner cultivators 8 were owner-cum-tenants and 6 were tenants (Table 1) Poverty is strongly correlated with lack of land which is the principal asset in the rural economy of Pakistan (Anwar et al 2004) Household assets such as land ownership value of livestock reduce the chance of being poor (Hashmi et al 2008) Distribution of farmers by farm size categories was significantly different across the two zones Percentage of the small farmers was same in both the zones (61) whereas percentage of medium farmers was greater in mixed-cropping zone and that of large farmers was greater in the rice-wheat zone Average operational holding of the farmers was 172 acres in rice-wheat zone and 142 acres in mixed-cropping zone (Table 1)

Sources of Income and Share of Different Crops in the Crop Income by Zone

Sources of income have great implication in determining the chances of any household being poor or otherwise Malik (2005) defined five major sources of income in rural Pakistan viz wagessalaries transfer income crop Income rental income and livestock income In the surveyed zones crop income contributed about two-third (664) of the total income of the farm families while about one-fifth (20) is added by wages and salaries Share of the livestock income was 75 per cent while contribution of transfer and rental incomes was 37 per cent Zone wise details of sources of income are given in Table 2

Figures 1 to 4 show shares of major and minor crops in the total income of poor and non-poor farm families In rice-wheat zone share of minor crops in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (6) than that of poor farmers (3) see Fig 1 and 2 In other words in rice-wheat zone share of grain crops in the income of poor farmers was greater than non-poor ones Similarly in mixed-cropping zone share of minor crop in the income of non-poor farmers was greater (29) than that of poor farmers (8) see Fig 3 and 4)

Due to lack of employment opportunities in the farm sector share of non-farm income in the income of rural households is rising Adams et al (1995) observed that the non-farm sector was the most important source of income in rural areas of Pakistan and indicated that self-employment unskilled labour

and government employment are three major sources of non-farm income The World Bank (2002) also observed a high dependency on non-farm sources of income in rural Pakistan about 44 of rural households were found to depend on non-farm sources of income in 2001 Wages and salaries are the significant income sources for farmers in the study area as they contributed about one-fifth (204) in total income of farm families In rice-wheat zone 200 families reported off-farm income sources (government employment unskilled labour and self-employment) while in mixed-cropping zone 100 families reported to have off-farm income sources (government employment and unskilled labour)

Livestock sector also plays an important role in the income generation Adam et al (1995) declared it as an inequality-reducing source of income A majority of poor households especially land less or small landowners depend on livestock for income Livestock contribution in the total income of the rural farm families was 51 in rice-wheat zone and 115 in mixed-cropping zone

Rental and transfer incomes are the minor sources of earnings for farm families In rice-wheat zone transfer income contributed 55 compared to 06 in mixed-cropping zone Rental income contributions in total income of farm families were 19 and 23 in rice- wheat zone and mixed-cropping zone were respectively (Table 2)

Poverty Indices

Head Count Ratio revealed that incidence of poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone (see Table 3) In mixed-cropping zone 34 of the members of rural families were poor as compared to 28 in rice-wheat zone On the overall basis 31 per cent of the farm population was poor in the study area Poverty-Gap Index revealed that mean income of poor farm households was less then the established poverty line by 037 in the study area The poverty gap index for mixed-cropping zone and rice-wheat zone were 041 and 014 respectively Thus aggregate poverty deficit of the poor was more in mixed- cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Squared Poverty Gap Index showed that income inequality amongst poor in mixed-cropping zone was more (146) than in rice-wheat zone (020) Thus poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone

Agricultural Production

Identification of technologies by determining input use and yield levels was made to formulate recommendations to increase agricultural productivity of major crops Most important factor in crop production is seed rate as seed rate of any crop plays an important role in achieving the required plant population (Llovreas et al 2004) Average seed rate used by the sugarcane farmers in the study area was 676 maunds per acre against the recommended rate of 800 maunds per acre Recommended seed rate for growing nursery for one acre of rice crop is 45 kilograms In mixed-cropping zone mean seed rate used by the farmers to grow rice nursery was equal to recommended level while in rice-wheat zone it was less than the recommend level by about 08 kilograms Mean seed rate for wheat crop was 501 and 467 kilogram per acre in mixed-cropping and rice-wheat zones respectively Thus in the study area farmers were using recommended seed rate for wheat crop

Similarly use of quality seed is one of the prerequisites for obtaining high yield The information about the seed sources describes the role of various agencies in dispensing good quality seed to the farmers Moreover it helps in designing appropriate strategies to improve the existing seed distribution system Farmers mostly use last yearrsquos crop produce as seed for sugarcane crop In rice-wheat zone most farmers (750) reported to use last year produce for sowing sugarcane crop However in mixed-cropping zone majority of the farmers (410) reported to purchase sugarcane seed from seed dealers Seed sources of the farmers for rice and wheat crops were significantly different across the two zones In rice-wheat zone most of the farmers (709) reported to use last yearrsquos produce for raising rice nursery while in mixed-cropping zone seed dealers were main source of seed as reported by the majority of the rice farmers (458) In case of wheat crop most of the farmers in rice-wheat zone (76) and majority of the farmers (42) in mixed-cropping zone reported to use last yearrsquos produce as seed Details about seed sources by crop zones are given in Table 4

Fertilizer application levels for major crops were significantly different across the two zones however use of phosphorus for rice crop was quite same across both zones Moreover mean application of nutrients for wheat crop were also similar across zone Average applications of fertilizer nutrients for sugarcane and rice crops were relatively higher in mixed-cropping zone as compared to rice-wheat-zone Farmers were applying imbalanced and low level of fertilizers in the study area On the whole per cent gaps between the recommended and actual levels of fertilizer nutrients applications were 42 47 and 62 per cent for wheat rice and sugarcane crops respectively The mean application of nitrogen phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177

and are significant at 1 and 5 levels respectively

Table 6 Gaps between obtained and potential yields

and are significant at 1 and 5 levels respectively

phosphorus and potash by sugarcane growers was 514 201 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended levels of 92 46 and 50 kilograms per acre respectively Mean applications of nitrogen phosphorus and potash for the rice crop were 407 177 and 08 kilogram per acre against the recommended dosages of 55 32 and 25 kilograms per acre respectively Average usages of N P and K fertilizers for wheat crop were 515 260 and 04 kilograms per acre against the recommended dosages of 64 46 and 25 kilogram per acre respectively (Table 5) Thus farmers apply lows doses of fertilizers to major crops in both the cropping zones Main reasons to use low levels of fertilizers reported by the farmers were non-availability black marketing and high prices of fertilizers especially at sowing times

Mean sugarcane yield obtained by the farmers in mixed-cropping zone was relatively higher as compared to farmers of rice-wheat zone Average yield of sugarcane in the study area was 7061 maunds per acre which was less than potential yield of 1082 maunds per acre by 347 per cent Average yield of rice crop was 357 maunds per acre and yield gap for rice crop was 504 per cent Average yield of wheat obtained by the growers in the study area was 357 maunds per acre which was less than the potential yield by 405 per cent

Conclusion and Recommendations

Almost one-third of farm population was poor in the study area Poverty was more widespread in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Aggregate poverty deficit of poor in mixed-cropping zone was more than in rice-wheat zone Likewise poverty was more severe in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone Incidence of poverty was more in mixed-cropping zone than in rice-wheat zone inspite of use of better quality seed and application of higher dosages of fertilizers by the farmers in this zone than in rice-wheat zone There are many reasons for this yield of major crop was quite similar across both zones percentage of the large farmers and mean holding of the sample farmers was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone share of crop income in the total family income was greater in rice-wheat zone than in mixed-cropping zone Moreover incidence of poverty not only depends on the land ownership but also on many other factors viz quality of land and its productivity availability of water fit for irrigation dependency ratio income diversification and transfer incomes etc In the study area crop yield gaps between actual and potential ones were 35-50 per cent Main reasons of low yields were less than recommended seed use imbalanced and less than recommend application of fertilizers high prices of agricultural inputs and adulterated agro-chemicals etc On the output side low prices of the produce lack of transportation and storage facilities were perceived as main problems by the farmers As the crop income contributes about two-third in the total income of farm families thus increase in agricultural productivity is essential for increasing crop earnings of the farmers and to lower the rural poverty in the province Since the increasing prices of agricultural inputs have eroded farmersrsquo purchasing power thus they have chosen to cut on inputs use To improve the situation authorities should strictly penalize hoarders of fertilizers and control overpricing of fertilizers and agro-chemicals This is necessary to transfer the subsidies provided to the fertilizer companies by the government to the farmers in a real sense
