Similarly,  with the exception of a few, the crop sector does not  return even the bank mark up rate on farm  investments. The research concludes that during 1990- 2005 farmers were optimizing only in Basmati rice and  potato crop. The optimality test of the 19 major  crops proved that only 5 crops have been  performing optimally during this time. The crops  succeeding the optimality test were further checked  for the possible effects of globalization and WTO''s  trade liberalization. As far as Basmati \u0026amp; IRRI  rice, onion, gram and potato are concerned, these  crops are expected to withstand globalization with  the exception of gram. Whereas sugarcane, maize and  maize fodder, sorghum, millet and barley would not  withstand globalization, nor do they appear to be  capable of benefiting from WTO trade liberalization  induced high prices. Hence price incentives are not  recommended for these crops; instead efforts should  be made to improve their optimality through improved  technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838340210\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn Economic Evaluation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838340210","offer_id":39498923999325,"sku":"9783838340210","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/73af45c0-4267-44ed-8303-cbd7e5297fa1.jpg?v=1758346104","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/pakistans-crop-sector-von-shahnaz-arifullah","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
