3Wheat crop failure in recent years accounts for low growth rate for crop output.
4Pakistan has had a marked increase in crop output during the last two years.
These growth rates are much larger than those achieved in the
United States, Canada, and West European countries during early

total farm output increased only 2.2 percent a year during the period
