"Agriculture is the mainstay of Pakistan's economy, employing almost
50% of the population. Wheat, rice, cotton, sugarcane, and tobacco are
the chief crops, and cattle and sheep are raised."
"Pakistan's industrial base is able to supply many of the country's
needs in consumer goods, although production has slowed in recent
years. The country's natural resources provide materials for such
industries as textile production (the biggest earner of foreign
exchange), oil refining, metal processing, and cement and fertilizer
production."
