How the Cooperative farming will help to solve the problem for providing cheap food products in the market?
Cooperative farming: Pakistan is an agricultural country. Agriculture is traditionally considered a rural activity. However with rapid change in rural-urban migration, the demographic scene in the country has changed radically. Greenhouse production, dairy, poultry and food processing plants, and the production and marketing of pre-cooked foods etc. have acquired tremendous importance. We must therefore recognize urban agriculture as an important component and specifically prepare manpower for this activity. Islamic Democratic Party will set up a network of service centres for farmers at Division level and reforming land acquisition laws and computerize land records, ownership and all other relevant information 
 
However, IDP will initiate and inclined all the farmers within the division to be members of the Co-operative without any discrimination weather small farmer or big one, which will be run by experts along with the representative from the members of the cooperative, the council will provide them useful information about the corps and support to the cooperative. Divisional Council will protect the interests of the farmers and consumers. All the government unused land in council area will be allotted to the farmers for cultivation. The council will provide all financial help, mechanical help seeds agriculture expertise, irrigation and market services to the cooperative. It is our utmost desire to increase irrigation area through construction and optimal use of water through small, medium and large irrigation projects within division from beginning to end the network of cannel, required water will be supplied to the farming areas, Providing reasonable return to the farmers and cheap food supply to the consumers.
 
All the members of the cooperative will be responsible to work on their land, in other case the land less farm labour will work for them and be given payment by the cooperatives from the earning of those particular land owners. The farmers will be trained in all respects by the cooperative. At the end of the day the total production will be sold to the group of the business people at a price with reasonable profit. In turn the business group from the chamber of commerce will be responsible to supply the product at reasonable profit to whole sellers and wise a versa to the retailers alternately the product will reach to the consumer at price they can easily afford .The mass production with mechanical, use will produce the production in huge quantity and therefore will be possible to provide it to consumer at cheap price defeating profit mongers and stockiest exploiting the market demand and supply rule. At the same time agro industries will be developed to utilize the by product of the farm and generating employment in the rural area and more revenue will be generated.
