Notes:
1: PRHPS refers to the Pakistan Rural Household Panel Survey. These statistics are from the first round of the survey which
was conducted in 2012. This dataset contains about 57 households from the district of Kasur (adjoining district of Okara) who
are engaged in farming and were randomly selected for the survey and thus they are regarded as almost representative farmers
from the study site.
2: PSLM refers to the Pakistan Social and Living Standard Measurement Survey. This nationally representative dataset
contains information about 34 families from the adjacent districts of Sahiwal, Pakpattan and Okara.
