Pakistan PM sets wheat price at Rs4500 per maund for 2027
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced an illustrative wheat price of Rs4,500 per maund for the 2027 season on Friday.
Rising costs drive price increase
The government raised the rate by Rs1,000 compared to last year's figure of Rs3,500. Officials stated that higher production expenses and fuel prices necessitated this adjustment. The move aims to help growers cover their agricultural input costs.
Goal is boosting local output
Leaders hope the new price will encourage farmers to sow more wheat seeds. This strategy intends to reduce reliance on imports recorded over the past two years. The decision was made with guidance from President Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N President Nawaz Sharif.
