ABSTRACT

This article examines the link between agricultural raw material exports and agricultural raw
material imports in the developing economy like Pakistan. Using the annual data from 1971-2007,
this study finds that agricultural raw material exports and agricultural raw material imports are
cointegrated. There is unidirectional causality from agricultural raw material imports to agricultural
raw material exports in the long run and no causality in either direction in the short run.
