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.
We have all the blessing given by Allah instead we have no proper guided leaders who can manage them and made Pakistan a developed country.
lot of natural resources found in Pakistan but not properly managed it
OUR YOUNGER GENERATION IS MASHA ALLAH MORE ENTHUSIASTIC AND HAVE A SPARK FOR OUR LOVELY COUNTRY PAKISTAN….. WE HAVE EVERY THING BUT WE ARE NOT UNITED WE LACK UNITY, HONESTY AND LOYALTY TO OUR HOME LAND…… WE WANTED TO GET SEPARATED FROM HINDUS BUT NOW WE AS MUSLIM ARE DIVIDED IN SO MANY GROUP RELIGIOUSLY AS WELL AS LINGUISTICALLY DUE TO OVER POPULATION , POVERTY AND LACK OF EDUCATION…
BUT THE DAY IS NOT SO FAR THAT WE WILL STAND TOGETHER AND WORK HARD FOR THE BETTER FUTURE OF OUR COMING GENERATIONS……….WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY …….PLEASE WOK HARD FOR ITS BETTER FUTURE WE HAVE EVERY THING WHAT WE NEED IS :-
1. EDUCATION
2.POPULATION CONTROL
3.UNITY
4.FAITH
5.DISCIPLINE
6.HONESTY
7.SINCERITY TO OUR COUNTRY
First improve yourself and then criticize anybody else…..don’t try to make castles in air…………..think about it
Well no one is making castles in the air.. Everyone need to think about what they are doing. I am criticizing the entire nation which includes myself. I do not blame the leaders, the only one you can really blame is yourself…
It is very sad to see the whole nation trying to destroy itself……
Well my comment did not post!!! Trust hurts…
Don’t blame the leaders when the whole nation is corrupt…. People need to stop blaming the leaders…. where do they come from? From the nation itself. People need to accept their responsibilties.
We Pakistani are just proud to be born Muslims and in Pakistan. But how many of us are even part of the nation? We are just pround but our actions make us so ashmed that where ever you look in the world Pakistanis are treated as dogs.
A few traits of a Pakistani… Dishonest, Lier, Irresponsible, Corrupt, Unjust and the list goes on. So do you want to call yourselve a Nation based on these traits… and also a Muslim???
I am not sure how long we will survive but I know the time is running out…
.you are a good pakistani and good muslim . so being a muslim
and a good pakistani adopt a good behavior with all the muslims .That’t it .
always keep remember me in your prayers and your heart.
ALLAH sub ko aasanyaan ata frmayy aamin
its a good but you have added someting more in this regard you can say that its a nice or exceptionally better than all the other thankyou
no doubet our homeland pakistan is gifted unbeliveable sources.if we utelize these sources we have not need to beg from our enemies like friend.but the thing is we have lake of skills and management.
pakistan is a beautiful country and all resourse are available but not proper used.
ALLAH given every blessed gifts especially for us as we see today our most beautiful land in world geographically and culturally PAKISTAN.Now its time to be aware of all the natural resources to utilize them in honourable way,which is possible only when we have the power of EDUCATION.GOD bless you my all PAKISTANI’S friends.
AWAKE
for pak banefit.
make urinum.every body.
The Almighty ALLAH has gifted Pakistan too much natural resources to Pakistan.The question is that why we are faceing shortage of gas,electric power?.still begging from IMF??why Pakistan is a poor country? why its people are in miserable condition? why why???????????????????//
our homeland is soooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful.
yup MASHALLAH pakistan is rich in natural resources but poor in management there is not proper utilization of resources
due to poor management it destroy all resources if our gov. want to do good job then our country can create goodwill in the world. just hope for the best
pakistan is buitafull but ha ha pakistan can suck me
It is true that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is very much rich in all sorts of natural resource and God gifted wealth,but it will not be out of place to say here that it is very unfortunate to the country of pakistan that this country is in the hands of unloyal and selfish political leaders,army generals and land lords who exploit all sorts of resources for thier own pocket.It is also very unfortunate to our country that the general masses of pakistan do not want to change their fate by themselves,because it needs the secrifice of blood.In the 63 years long history of this country we the people of pakistan could not unite under one flag,and are being divided by the slogans of,cst,creed,language, ethnic, and religious secterion system to be easly ruled and prey by our elites,as the were taught and injucted by the english(Ferangi),divide and rule.So we need to secrifice ourselves for over turning the slavery way of life by defining our own way of Government.
I agreed with my friends but i will say here that we need to help of Pakistan as youngs. There are 60000000 youngs in pakistan and mostly are students. If our students make sure their study well and give their little time to our government depts to make progress i say surely that no power and country of the world can stop of progress and devlopment of GRATE PAKISTAN.
do you wonder while being so rich in natural resources why are
we a poor nation??
Allah has blessed Pakistan with everything, its now up to us
the younger generation to focus on Jinnah’s dream and make Pakistan an
educated, tolerant, vibrant and progressive society..
religious intolerance and corrupt governments has taken so much
from us…its time to wake up..we need a stable and revolutionary leader..!
pakistah mn educated or experts bhi hn bs unhe ek chance ki zarorat ha,
Dont say that there is nothing in PAKISTAN every thing is in PAKISTAN
Allah Almighty has blessed Pakistan with all components for achiveing sustainable economic development.But the problem is that our political leaders are failed to utilize those natural resources for betterment of common people of Pakistan.Take the example of forestry in Gilgit-Baltistan,where the fedral governmnet has been allowing the wealthy people to cut down more and more trees,and the local people of Gilgit-Baltistan are not getting any benifit out of this distructive activity.If the pace of cutting forest in GB, remains the same for couple of years then there is a chance to become this area barren like the other parts of Pakistan.So being Pakistani we should stand up against scuh policies of the governmnet which lead our country towards distruction and catastrophe.
pakistan main Mashallah sab kuch hai magar us sab natural resourses kae leyae experts or eaducated logo ki zarurat hai……………………….
WE NEED TO CONTROL CORRUPTION WHICH EAT OUR COUNTRY.OTHERWISE OUR COUNTRY IS FULL OF RESOURSES.
not bad
Pakistan is resource full country but we need the ability to use these resources and i hope that day will become SOON when we will able to use these resources INSHALLAH .
Be proud to be PAKISTANI.
I LOVE PAKISTAN
INSHAHALLAH
Pakistan is very beautiful.I love my country.Pakistan is the best of the world.Insha-Allah Pakistan will do forget rich man against America,India,Russia,England,China and France.
Insha Allah
pakistan has everything except good and honest politicians… Hope they get some in fuTurE.. :)

The only way we can make Pakistan rise up again is through education, hardwork in determination. Make no excuse of Allah banishing Pakistan but look inside ur own collar and see where you stand for Pakistan.
