Prime Minister Sets Wheat Price at PKR 4,500 Per Quintal for 2027

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister has announced a proposed wheat price of PKR 4,500 per quintal for the year 2027, aiming to support local farmers and stabilize the agricultural sector.

This decision, revealed during a recent cabinet meeting, is part of the government’s broader strategy to enhance food security and ensure fair compensation for farmers. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of agriculture in Pakistan’s economy and the need to protect the interests of those who cultivate the land.

The new pricing policy is expected to have significant implications for the agricultural landscape, potentially increasing farmers’ income and encouraging higher wheat production. This move comes amid rising concerns over food inflation and the need for sustainable agricultural practices in the country.

Looking ahead, the government plans to hold consultations with agricultural stakeholders to finalize the pricing framework and discuss additional support measures for farmers. These discussions are crucial as the country prepares for the upcoming wheat planting season.
