Pakistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, located in South Asia has 650 miles of coastline on the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman. The west is bordered by Afghanistan and Iran. India is to the east and China in the far northeast. The country is strategically located between South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Land is a valuable natural resource.
Other natural resources include an extensive natural gas supply, some oil, hydro power potential, coal (although not high quality), iron ore, copper, salt, and limestone. Agricultural products are wheat, cotton, rice, sugarcane, eggs, fruit, vegetables, milk, beef, and mutton. Primary industry includes textiles, food processing, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, shrimp, fertilizer, and paper products. Major exports are textiles, rice, leather goods, sports goods, carpets, rugs, and chemicals. Pakistan imports petroleum, machinery, plastic, edible oil, iron, steel, tea, and paper.
Coal
Pakistan recently discovered one low and four low-to-medium quality coal seams in the Punjab. Low sulfur coal was recently reported at the Baluchistan and near Islamabad. Bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite coal have been found in Pakistan.
Coal reserves are estimated at 175 billion tons. This would equate to 618 billion barrels of crude oil. When compared to oil reserves his is more than twice the amount of the top four countries. If At KSA’s current usage, the reserves would last more than 200 years.
Oil and Gas
Natural gas production is at a high level in Pakistan. Estimated reserves are 885.3 billion cubic meters (as of January 2009). Gas fields are expected to last for another 20 years. The Sui gas field is the largest, accounting for 26% of Pakistan’s gas production. Daily production is 19 million cubic meters a day. Under the barren mountains of Balochistan and the sands of Sindh, there are untouched oil and gas reserves.
Forestry
Forests are limited to 4% of Pakistan’s land; nonetheless the forests are a main source of food, lumber, paper, fuel wood, latex, and medicine. The forests are also used for wildlife conversation and ecotourism.
Mining
Pakistan has large gold/copper ore deposits at Saindak. There are large deposits of rock salt in the Pothohar Plateau. Pakistan’s mineral resources include reserves of gypsum, limestone, chromites, iron ore, rock salt, silver, precious stones, gems, marbles, tiles, sulfur, fire clay, and silica sand.
Land
About 28% of Pakistan’s total land area is under cultivation. Pakistan boasts one of the largest irrigation systems in the world. According to Wikipedia, “the most important crops are cotton, wheat, rice, sugarcane, maize, sorghum, millets, pulses, oil seeds, barley, fruits and vegetables, which together account for more than 75% of the value of total crop output.” The fertile lands of Punjab are ready to feed a population twice that of current Pakistan.
Uranium
Pakistan has a long history of exporting small amounts of uranium. In 2006 Pakistan produced about 45 tons of uranium.
Water
The fishing industry plays a role in the national economy of Pakistan. The coastline is 814km and fishery resources still have room to grow. Fishing in Pakistan is a major source of export earnings.
Pakistan is rich in diverse natural resources. Pakistan’s human resources include a population of intelligent young people and a burgeoning urban middle class. The culture, knowledge, wealth, and infrastructure are sure to grow and improve in the near future. This combined with its prime location will lead to long-term success for the nation.

i lov my country
dear Pakistani people please stop to follow the Mullas n Moulbis due to which u all r going down now in this modern world follow high level education, We Indians have a very high education and will go higher in the future so stop thinking from the Moulbi point of view these are the Moulbis that they vanished the Khilafat and every muslim today face a lots of problem in todays world.
Dear Yasir shah, before u die instruct ur family to burn u like ur
country fellows so that no moolbi or mauula can get the advantage of
any kind.we Pakistanies r proud of our country and we r serving the
world with our extraordinary efforts so don’t impose ur ideas upon
us.one day u will see who is at the height of excellence.and my advice
to u is that shut ur and ur media’s touge againg Pakistan.
mashallah
What a bullshit Yasir shah u are writing ”we Indians havs a very high education.. We know condition of Indian Muslims, they are 3rd or 4th class citizens of India. Poorest among Indians, least educated, left backward by successive Indian governments. If any one of your community member gets a chance to get higher education doors of government jobs are closed for your people and you know it very well. POOREST OF PAKISTANIS IS LIVING A MUCH BETTER LIFE THAN ANY OF RICHEST INDIAN MUSLIM. Mind it and keep your advice to yourself and put your good efforts to get a respectable place for Muslims living in India. We also know that religious extremism is not right and such people are present in every country like Shiv Sena, Bajrangdal and many more in India.
PTI will utilize these resources. PTI ZINDABAD !!!

Three to four billion dollars are required initialy to produce electricity and fuel from Thar coal deposits as per “Dr Samar Mubarak Mand”. Let us see which govt takes the 1st step. Otherwise KHUDA NE AAJ JAK USS QOUM KI HALAT NAHI BADLI—-NA HO JIS KO KHAYAL KHUD APNI HALAT K BADALNAY KA.
Thar coal mine which is present in Sindh is not included in the coal section….which is the biggest coal mine of Pakistan.
report is good but unfortunately our leaders have ruined above all the resources…….
Allah bless many resources in Pakistan
“ONE CHILD ONE TREE FOR GREEN PAKISTAN.
Forests play very important role in economy and developement of a country. Furniture, plywood, chipboard, hardboard, cardboard, paper products, fire wood, fibers, medicines and thousands of products are manufactured from trees and plants.Countries like Brazil, Chile, Malaysia and Indonesia etc are earning billions of dollars annualy from their forests AS THEY HAVE MORE THAN 50 % of their land covered with forests while PAKISTAN HAS ONLY 4 TO 5 %. Even India has 24 % forests. We are 180 million people in Pakistan and spring season has started. Let us start planting trees only one plant per person of our families. We can name each tree to the name of each family member and can look after these like we do for our loved ones. Where are you young Pakistanese? take the charge, guide the nation. Let us add 180 million trees to our forests to get healthy environment, free fresh air, oxygen and make PAKISTAN real green. We can plant one tree on the birth of each child and look after it easily.
GOD BLESS PAKISTAN AND PAKISTANIS.
Dear/friends we all know it that pakistan come in to bieng on 14agust 1947 one blunder mistak had been occurred. at that time, It was injustice. Becaues a rule which is apply to all new born countries is aqual distribution of resources to the peoples of new born country wen few faimlies peoples are acoppy on resources whole country, how can progress,we?no never we can be .
lets think a man ve 50 thousand acare, the only one person ve great resources for doing everything n 50 thousand peoples are hangry thirsty n naked ,,what pity flop is that our society
on which we ve proud if we want to save this country we will ve to save 15 crore peoples then few faimlies just cum farword snatch the resouces from few faimlies n distribute them among the 15 crore peoples of pakistan best of luck for all friend
Agree to some extent. This problem is in every country. Only the 10-15% will hold most of the wealth in any country. Be it Pakistan, UK, USA, India. Why India is making so much progress in every business? They have more poor people than us. The problem lies with every individual in Pakistan. I have summarised a list of behaviours in my previous post which will destroy any nation and Pakistan is no different.
Rahi has told a very good story and we need that in every house, street, village and city. Honesty is key here and there is the saying “God helps those who help themselves”.
A positive attitude, education, sincerity, passion and drive to do something, determination and unity.
If we can try to incorporate the above in our everyday life I see Pakistani nation to be the best in less time than one can imagine.
being a muslim its our responsiblety to do samething for our country i realy want to do samething positive for pakistan ALLAH BLESS PAKISTAN, Pakistan zindabad paindabad
If you want to do anything for your beloved country, start from your neighbourhood. Search for the poorest and help them, feed the hungry neighbours. Help educate those who cannot afford the expenses. Keep your home and the area tidy and clean. This will make Pakistan more beautiful. Educate the nation. Educated youth will be the real asset of Pakistan.
GOD BLESS PAKISTAN.
what,s it
Story of a small village.
There was a small village in an under developed area with no schools, water, electricity or road. There was only a zig zag walkway with a lot of ascends and descends, that connected the village to the nearest town.One could not even ride a bicycle on this track. The villagers were peace loving people with a lot of respect and love for each other and specialy for elders. Mostly farmers, with very small peace of land, each family, hardly enough to feed them throughout the year. In the absence of govt help,on occasions of marriages and funnerals get togathers, they used to discuss their grievances and difficulties and possible solutions to their problems. One fine day they decided to go for self help.Each family contributed what ever they could and they started to pave the village streets. After finishing this job there was smile of success on every face. A welfare fund was initiated for schools, water wells, paved road and eletricity.Two plots of land were donated by villagers and construction of two rooms each started. Furniture was purchased and boys & girls primary schools were ready.Approval from local govt was easy as every penny was raised and spent on self help basis.Next came the wells and with arrival of electricity, water problem was history.Land and funds donated by villagers and with some help from local govt, dream of paved road came true.With scarcity of govt and private jobs, people started hunting overseas job markets. Today they are asset for this small village. With positive attitude and positive thinking, widows,orphans and poor are helped. Widows and orphans of this blessed village are living life much better than millions of their compatriots. Today one can find engineers,doctors, teachers and highly educated in this small village of approx eighty families. Most of the girls are post graduate, graduate or matric at least.
This is a fifty years long journey of a small village of northern Punjab. No protests or guns except selfhelp were used to achieve this.
THIS ALL WAS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CHAUDHARY, MALIK, KHAN, SAIEN, WADERA OR SARDAR TO GUIDE OR MISGUIDE THEM. GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES. SHUN HATRED, SPREAD RESPECT AND LOVE CAUS YOU HAVE TO LIVE ONCE ONLY.TRUST YOURSELF, DEVELOP YOUR VILLAGE OR NEIGHBOURHOOD ON SELF HELP BASIS. BEAUTIFY YOUR AREA AND VERY SOON INSHA ALLAH PAKISTAN WILL BE PARADISE ON EARTH.
GOD BLESS PAKISTAN AND PAKISTANESE.
pakistan is beautifull country of the world..but people not.
PAKISTAN is blessed my Allah Almighty !!! =]
No one should be proud of Pakistan. It is a corrupt country with unmercy people. All the Natural gass and oil (petroleum) and other natural resources are to be found in the Sindh and Balochistan provinces, but still Balochistan remains in the mountains with no schools, no education, no hospital, no anything. While Punjabi people who only have rice and cotton lives a luxurious life. This is not what i call a islamic country. Shame on Pakistani gov.
Shame, Shame, Shame!
Great country PAKISTAN with lovely innocent people. My eyes are wet after reading above commments full of undying love and affection for the country.
“GOD BLESS PAKISTAN AND PAKISTANIS”.

Hmari dua haim k ALLAH pak hmare Pakistan ko slamt rkhe r hmare hukmrano ko hdayit de
Pakistan needs educating masses from childhood onwards.We need to inculcate hard word , self discipline and self reliance. If we could educate the people to drive in lawful manner we may win .Law should be applied equally to everybody .
yes i am committed with you all , but this is not true all pakistani are corrupt , there are some reliable , loyal , dignity-er person who are running to pakistan ..
pakistani dunya ke sab se corrupt log hai inse koi umeed nahi we can get more money than saudi arabia by using our resources
Totally agree. Everyone is so corrupt from a clerk to the prime minister. A shop keeper to a business man from small to large.
alhamdullah Pakistan is richest with the natural resources ,but we should utilize in proper way and reform the institutional management ,policies,environment, and also adopt the integrity yourself , i hope we will confirm lead the world
