Sindh has emerged as the powerhouse of Pakistan’s banana production, accounting for a staggering 94 percent of the country’s total output. Every year, the province produces approximately 135,000 tonnes of bananas, cultivated across more than 40,000 acres of farmland.
The fertile soil and favorable climate of Sindh, particularly in districts such as Thatta, Badin, and Mirpurkhas, provide ideal conditions for banana cultivation. Farmers in these regions have adopted modern agricultural practices alongside traditional techniques, ensuring high yield and consistent quality.
This large-scale production not only meets domestic demand but also supports regional markets, supplying bananas to other provinces and urban centers across Pakistan. The banana sector contributes significantly to the livelihoods of thousands of farmers and laborers in Sindh, driving economic activity in rural areas.
Moreover, the province’s consistent output has positioned it as a key player in potential export markets. With ongoing investments in irrigation, pest management, and post-harvest storage facilities, Sindh’s banana industry continues to grow, aiming to increase production efficiency, reduce losses, and meet rising consumer demand both nationally and internationally.
