 Abstract:

The economies of developing countries like Pakistan and the Republic of China are highly influenced by agricultural growth and development. It has been frequently discussed that economies can develop through agriculture production growth and agriculture modernization. The role of the agriculture sector in the development of economies has comprehensively discussed whereas the association among the agriculture sector and other sectors of the economy that can alleviate poverty. The study discovers that innovation in the agricultural sector would not only prompt poverty diminishment but also boost up the economic growth in poor countries. It defines clearly all those differences which are found in the introduction of new technology adopters and non-adopters of between Pakistan and China. The prosperity suggestion of this study monitors as: it was settled in the introduction section that agricultural growth over the fulfillment of modernization is one of the key policy purposes of Pakistan and China’s economies. Nevertheless, in the detection of economic growth, development among various objectives (e.g., service sector growth and industrialization) can tricky in light of the fact that it just targets higher economic development, although ignoring the agricultural sector, does not essentially involve prosperity for all of the population, especially poor people, and eventually rises dissimilarity. Here it is important to refer looking at the effects of costs, assets, technology, education, unrestricted investments, climatic factors on long-term food accessibility in Bangladesh, found that climatic elements to have generally more impact on food availability than technologies. The major objective of this study is to demonstrate the possible solution for economic growth and highlight previous work is done on agriculture development and modernization in Pakistan and China.
