Executive Summary

This report contains the findings of rapid agriculture damage assessment in flood-affected

district Muzaffargarh conducted by CABI South Asia. The assessments were conducted in the

one of most affected district of Punjab from September 29th to October 8th.

The recent monsoon flash floods in Pakistan have claimed over 1,600 lives and affected more

than 20 million people across Pakistan.

More than 80 percent of the population in the flood-affected areas depends on agriculture for

their livelihood. The devastating monsoon floods have caused damages of unprecedented scale

to agriculture and families that rely on the sector as a primary or sole source of food and/or

income. The floods and flash rains in the country have not only damaged 61.21 % of

agriculture crops, but have also destroyed infrastructure such as Tube Wells, water channels,

household storages, houses, animal sheds, personal seed stocks/fertilizers, various agriculture

machinery and equipments. The floods struck at a devastating time for farmers – just prior to

the harvest of key standing crops (e.g. rice, cotton, vegetables, and sugarcane) and to the onset

of the Rabi wheat planting season, beginning in November.

While this report focuses on recorded damages, it provides a platform for early recovery

response on needs assessed in agriculture sector, such that available resources can be

optimally targeted to meet the needs of the farmers in next cropping periods.

The rapid flood damages assessment indicates that 400,260 acres of the cultivated area of

field crops has been reported as destroyed throughout the district. Highest losses in terms of

crops cultivated was recorded in cotton (227,036 acres)

The main losses have been recorded in field crops, of which cotton (38.59%), sugarcane

(13.78%), fodder crops and rice (7.34)% were found as worst affected crop of the current Kharif

season (summer season). The affected communities also suffered heavy losses in livestock

and irrigation infrastructure, which are of paramount importance for the livelihoods of the

predominantly agrarian community.

A total of 806,157 livestock animals have been reported lost. Also, as many as 2,500,000

livestock have been indirectly affected due to diseases, feed and fodder shortages and

dislocation due to animal shelter destruction. 476 water courses have been damaged due to

7

erosion of banks by flood water or sedimentation /siltation due to flash floods and rains which

need immediate de-silting, repair or reconstruction.

8

Recommendations for Early Recovery

On basis of the rapid damage assessment, recommendations are made here for early

recovery of Agriculture. This is particularly relevant as they are time sensitive, such as

immediate availability of agricultural inputs for the Rabi season, preparation for which have been

started.

A set of recommendations is provided by sector, and these underlie the thrust of the Agriculture

sector for the strategy of early recovery of Agriculture in coming 9-month period.

Agriculture

Provision of Wheat seed, fertilizers like Di Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) and Urea for the

proceeding Rabi season would help the local farmers to manage the food security risk for next

year. Motivation/training of farmers for adoption of advanced agricultural practices will also

help them for improving their agriculture and resultantly increase in farm income.

Irrigation Infrastructure

To restore livelihood of the affected people, revival of agriculture in the affected area through

rehabilitation of damaged irrigation systems has become necessary. As rehabilitation of

surface irrigation systems will take one season, Tube Wells are needed to be installed to start

quick revival of agriculture. Tube Wells will be the alone source of irrigation initially and later on

will supplement the surface irrigation when once rehabilitation of farm irrigation system is

completed.

This component will consist of

(i) Rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure of farm surface irrigation system (Water

Courses).

(ii) Installation/repair of Tube Wells and management for revival of agriculture and

restoration of livelihood of affected farm families.

Objective of the Assessment

Following agreement between German Agro Action (GAA) and CABI South Asia, a rapid

agriculture damage assessment mission was launched in the district Muzaffargarh, one of

most flood-affected district of Punjab.

9

The assessment mission had the following objectives:

To assess the situation of the flood affected population

To identify major livelihood issues and propose recommendations for early

rehabilitation

Classify households in a community according to their level of food security

Propose the most important pathways by which households obtain their food

Identify the most important threats to agriculture supply

Prioritize threats that should be addressed first

Design interventions that address the major livelihood issues

Assessment Methodology

The methodology for the collection of primary field data included the gathering of damage

information at field level, as well as aggregate data from government line departments and key

informants.

The following tools were used during data collection:

Focus group discussions with affected communities;

Meetings and interviews with key informants, organizations, institutions and government

line agencies, especially the agriculture and livestock extension department;

Field visits and transect walks to the damage sites;

Secondary data collection from agencies, line departments and local organizations;

Recording snapshots of the affected/damage sites

All four Tehsils were covered in the district. The selection of Union Councils for visit was

based on preliminary discussion with the District Administration, Agriculture Extension

Department and humanitarian organizations in the area

District Muzaffargarh

Muzaffargarh is a district in south of the Punjab province. It is spread over an area of

8,435 sq.km. It forms a strip between the river Chenab on its East and Indus River on its

West. Estimated population of the district on 31-12-2009 was 3,579,000 of which

1,864,176 Rural and 1,714,824 are urban citizens with the growth rate of 3.39 %. The

10

literacy rate in the district is 28.4 %. The district is administratively divided into four

Tehsils namely Muzaffargarh, Ali Pur, Kot Adu and Jatoi, which contain a total of 93 union

councils, of which 80 are Rural and 13 are Urban. Total number of Villages are 984, with

total rural households of 3,116,000 numbers. Main Towns are Khangarh, Shaher Sultan,

Rangpur, Gujrat, Mehmood Kot, Sinawan, Thatta Gurmani, Daira Din Panah, Chowk Sawar

Shaheed, Shah Jamal, Baseera, Rohillanwali, Ehsan Pur, Bakaini, Seet Pur Murad Abad,

Ghazi Ghaat and Karam Dad Qureshi.

Land and Agro-ecology:

Muzaffargarh is the most fertile region along river valleys of Sindh and Chenab. Majority of the

population lives in rural areas.

Wheat, Sugarcane, Cotton Rice and Mango orchards are the most important crops,

contributing substantially to the food security. Other crops include millet, corn, oilseeds such as

Rape / Mustard and Sun Flower, pulses, vegetables (Onion, Carrot, Cauliflower and Peas), and

fruits such as, Dates, Citrus and Pomegranate. Besides these fruits Jam an, Pears, Phalsa and

Banana are also grown in minor quantities in the district. Livestock and poultry production are

also important. Forest area consists of 102,110 acres.

Rapid damage assessment preliminary findings

Flood damaged areas

Overall, in district Muzaffargarh 40 Union Councils

were reported as worst affected while 23 were

moderately affected by floods. 61.21% of total

cropped area in district was under water. Tehsil wise

damaged cropped area was in Tehsil Kot adu -

80.35%, Tehsil Muzaffargarh 37.30%, Tehsil Alipur

80.28%, Tehsil Jatoi 44.65%.

Field Crops

The rapid flood damages assessment shows that

400,260 acres of field crops cultivated area has been

reported as destroyed in all the four Tehsils of district.

Highest losses in terms of crops cultivated was

recorded in Tehsil Kot Addu (640,000 acres) followed

by Tehsil Muzaffargarh (350,000 acres), Jatoi (52,000 acres) and Ali Pur (125,000 acres).

The main losses have been recorded in field crops of

which cotton, sugarcane, fodder crops and rice were the

worst affected crop of the current Kharif season

(summer season). The affected communities also

suffered heavy losses in livestock and irrigation

infrastructure which are of paramount importance for the

livelihoods of the predominantly agrarian flood-

affected communities.

Cotton

Cotton is the main cash and industrial crop of south Punjab, and a major crop for earning. The

cotton crop was at a critical stage of reproductive growth i.e. boll formation. Cotton growers

have suffered enormous loses as the cotton crop was at a very critical stage of production.

227,036 acres i.e. 49.84 percent loss is registered in the district.

Sugarcane

Sugarcane is the second most important cash crop

during Kharif season and was badly affected by the

recent floods. Sugarcane is important not only for

providing important raw material for sugar making

industries but the fresh leaves and stalk are also used as

animal fodder. The damage to the crop (81,034 acres-

54.83 %) will contribute to an already strained situation

of fodder shortage. The crop was damaged at a critical growth stage with sugar synthesis at its

peak.

Rice

Rice is the second major Kharif cereal crop, which was

badly hit by the flood. 43,200 acres were fully damaged,

which comprises 72.00% of total area sown in the

district.

Pulses (Mung and Mash)

Mung and Mash are the major pulse crops of southern part of Punjab. The current damages

will lead to food insecurity and high food prices in the country.

Fodder crops

Major summer fodder crops of Pakistan are sorghum, maize and millets. 210,000 acres of

fodder crops were sown in 2009-10, of which 126,878 acres were fully damaged, accounting

for 43.82 percent of the total area cultivated.

Vegetable crops

The losses to vegetable crops have resulted into vegetables shortages in the market and high

unaffordable prices of major vegetables.

Onion, Carrot, Cauliflower and peas are main vegetables grown in the district. Besides

Ladyfinger, Turnip, Tomato, Garlic and chilies are also grown in the district in minor quantities

Production of these vegetables during the period 2008-09 to 2009-10 is given here:

Fruit orchards

Major fruit orchards (47500 acres in district Muzaffargarh)

which sustained heavy economic losses due to the flood are

mangos. 2872 acres of mango orchards were reportedly

damaged.

Mango is the main fruit grown in the district.

Livestock

Livestock and poultry play a vital role in the livelihoods of poor communities. For those who

have no landholding, livestock is an invaluable possession. Livestock is an important asset for

large and medium farmers, while small and landless farmers see it as a basic means of

livelihood and survival, as a source of cash, family nutrition and living. The floods have caused

significant damages /losses to the livestock sector. From total of 3, 227, 424 livestock animals

excluding poultry 2,310,000 (71%).are estimated to have been lost in the floods. A significant

number of livestock have been assessed as indirectly affected due to diseases, feed and

fodder shortages and dislocation on account of animal shelter destructions.

Number of Animals Affected

Total Affected Percentage affected

3,227,424 917,424 29%

The following diseases have been inflicted on livestock by flood;

Hemorrhagic Septicemia Disease (HSD)

Liver Fluke Diseases (Fasiolosis) in bovine, ovine and caprine

Oedema of the lower limbs

Ulceration and Multiple Wounds on lower Limbs

Paraplegia in cattle and buffalo (Posterior Paralysis)

Foot rot in sheep and goat

Stomatitis in sheep and goat

Due to these diseases, productivity of animals has been decreased to a greater extent, thereby

worsening the economic situation of the poor. Due to flood water, more than 60% animals

stayed in flood water at least for 3 days without eating any fodder. Because of this, skin of

livestock at lower parts has severely affected.

16

Irrigation infrastructure

Most of the cultivated area, especially cotton,

sugarcane and rice, are cultivated with head

canals diverted from main rivers. The recent floods

have damaged these canals due to banks being

eroded by flood water or sedimentation /siltation

due to flash floods and rains which will need

immediate repair/reconstruction, de-silting to

restore water availability to the standing crops of

cotton, sugarcane and rice crops. These canals are the life lines.

Irrigation channels/water courses

The flood has caused huge damages to Irrigation infra-structure which is either completely

damaged i.e. washed away by floods or heavily silted. The structures were either completely

damaged or heavily silted due to sand and alluvial silt accumulation. A total of 476 water

courses have been partially or fully damaged in the recent floods of which maximum damages

were reported (within length of 3 to 700 meters). Estimated Cost of Loss is Rs. 180 millions.

On farm water management department has conducted damage assessment survey. These

channels are often shared by many farmers, sometimes as many as 100 or more, and are

under Water Users Association control.

Clearing and de-silting of structures is very vital for restoration of irrigation to any surviving

standing crops, but more importantly for the wheat season.

Tube Wells

During the transect walks, community owned Tube Wells dug for irrigation purposes were

observed. These tube wells irrigate a significant acreage of land (0.7 million Irrigated acres).

Such Tube Wells have been completely/partially damaged in the fields under flooding. A total

of approximately 40 % Tube Wells have been reportedly damaged.

Fish farms

2000 fish farms have been damaged by the recent monsoon flood.
