Agriculture sector is the second-largest contributor to Pakistan's GDP, accounting for 24%. This research paper examines agricultural growth in Pakistan from 1990 to 2020. Using the Cobb Douglas production function (Capital and Labor) the paper determines the dominant factors influencing agricultural growth. Agricultural growth has shown consistent growth from 1990 to 2020. The study finds that agriculture credit, fertilizer usage, labor and water availability have a significant and positive impact on agricultural output. These findings are further reinforced by per hectare production analysis, which reveals that agriculture credit per hectare, fertilizer usage per hectare, labor per hectare and water availability per hectare have a positive and statistically significant relationship with agricultural output per hectare. When comparing these results to elasticities, the paper concludes that only agricultural credit and water appear to have a significant and positive relationship with agricultural output.
