(d) Wheat contributes around 2 per cent to Pakistan’s GDP with 80 per cent of farmers growing
wheat on approximately 40 per cent of Pakistan’s total cultivated land.

Assess the extent to which the large amount of land currently used to grow wheat should be
used to grow other higher-value crops. Give reasons to support your judgement and refer to
examples you have studied. You should consider different points of view in your answer.
