Abstract
Sugar cane is one of the most important
agricultural outputs of Pakistan and has been termed as
a cash crop by the Economic experts. It is mainly grown
for sugar and sugary production. It is an important
source of income and employment for the farming
community of the country. The growing importance of
sugarcane in the economy of Pakistan and the policy
implications that could follow changes in relative prices
have encouraged the under taking of this study. It is
therefore proposed to investigate and observe in this
paper how the farmer acreage responds to price change
in Pakistan during the period of 1986 – 2005, insofar as
sugarcane cultivation is concerned.
The main objective of this study is to present and
analyze the price elasticity of sugarcane acreage in
Pakistan. This study aims to find the acreage response
of farmers to price changes in order to make it
comparable with standard analysis
