Severe flooding across Pakistan has destroyed nearly 1.3 million acres of farmland, dealing a heavy blow to the country’s agriculture sector. Vast stretches of crops, including cotton, rice, sugarcane, and vegetables, have been submerged, leaving thousands of farmers devastated.
According to officials, the floods have not only damaged standing crops but also washed away irrigation systems and rural infrastructure, raising fears of food shortages and higher prices in the coming months.
Authorities are assessing the full scale of the losses while emergency teams continue relief and rescue efforts in flood-hit districts. Experts warn that the agricultural crisis could further strain Pakistan’s already fragile economy.
