What would happen to rice wheat production system in Pakistan under WTO regime as agreed under Uruguay round agreement? Study in hand examines this question through estimation of effective incentives and resource use efficiency in wheat rice cultivation in Pakistan through effective rate of protection and domestic resource cost. Results indicated that, under free trade regime cultivation of rice for export promotion and of wheat for import substitution purpose is likely to gain benefit. These results were compared with that of India. This comparison helped to examine that where the wheat rice cultivation of Pakistan would stand if distortions (subsidies) in the production of wheat and rice in Pakistan and India were eliminated. The results indicate that under such scenario cultivators of wheat and basmati rice in Pakistan and India are likely to gain benefit. However, Pakistan will have to face some competition from India in Rice production for export promotion purposes.
