A coalition of Pakistani farmer organizations is pressing the government to reinstate the wheat support price to Rs4,702 per maund, citing concerns over national food security. Farmers argue the current price is insufficient, leading to reduced cultivation and potential shortages. They fear a decline in wheat production could force increased reliance on imports, impacting the country’s economic stability. The alliance warned of further protests if their demands are not met, emphasizing the critical role farmers play in ensuring food supply. They claim the reduced price doesn't cover production costs, discouraging farmers and threatening the sustainability of domestic wheat farming. The farmers collectively believe a fair price is essential for both their livelihoods and national self-sufficiency in wheat. The government has yet to respond officially to the alliance’s demands.
