Abstract

A recurrent theme in much of the writing on development is that the prospects for the export of agricultural products from underdeveloped countries are bleak, and that these countries sfioufd, therefore, concentrate on expandihg their exports of manufactures. Pakistan, too, has not been immune to such thinking, and over the years the authorities have attempted to stimulate industri£ ei(0rts through a wide array of incentive schemes. On the one hand meSe too t e form of discouraging agricultural exports by the imposition of export taxes and by compelling the sale of these products at the official-and overvalued exchange rate.
