The Punjab Portal attributes about 68% of Pakistan's annual food-grain production to the province.
Sialkot is internationally known for sports goods, surgical instruments and other value-added products.
Punjab's rain-fed Barani tract extends across about 12.6 million acres of varied landscape.
Punjab's name recalls the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej river system.
Lahore is Punjab's centre of government and a major centre of education, culture and heritage.
