Banana Belt of Pakistan: Sindh’s Fertile Soil Powers National Supply
Sindh is the backbone of Pakistan’s banana production, contributing nearly 94 percent of the country’s total output. The crop flourishes in districts such as Khairpur, Ghotki, Sukkur, Nawabshah, Mirpurkhas, Naushero Feroze, and surrounding areas, thanks to fertile soil and favorable climatic conditions.
Every year, Sindh cultivates bananas on more than 40,000 acres of farmland, yielding close to 135,000 tonnes. This robust agricultural base not only sustains local markets but also plays a vital role in meeting national demand, underscoring Sindh’s significance in Pakistan’s fruit farming sector and rural economy.
