What is the growing season for most of Pakistan?

Published in Agriculture 1 min read

The growing season for most of Pakistan is divided into two main seasons: Kharif (summer/monsoon) and Rabi (winter).

Kharif Season

The Kharif season starts from April to June and crops are harvested from October to December. Key crops grown during this season include:

  • Rice
  • Sugarcane
  • Cotton
  • Maize
  • Moong (Mung Beans)
  • Mash (Urad Beans)
  • Bajra (Pearl Millet)
  • Jowar (Sorghum)

Rabi Season

(This wasn't included in the provided source but is essential for a complete answer.)

The Rabi season starts in October-November and the crops are harvested in March-April. Key crops grown during this season include:

  • Wheat
  • Barley
  • Gram (Chickpeas)
  • Lentils
  • Oilseeds (like Mustard)

Therefore, Pakistan doesn't have one growing season but two distinct seasons, each supporting different crop types.
