Bad News For Farmers | The Government refuses to buy more wheat
Among the wheat-producing countries of the world, the name of Pakistan is of special importance. Punjab province of Pakistan has the highest production of wheat, and wheat is produced in three seasons in Pakistan. The first number is the Atta of South Sindh. Which supplies wheat to Pakistan between October 15 and November 15, while North Sindh supplies wheat to Pakistan throughout November, and various regions of Punjab supply wheat to Pakistan from the end of February to April. Most of the wheat production is produced within the Punjab province of Pakistan which is 71 17%. The production of wheat within Punjab is 2316 kg per acre, while Sindh produces 2410 kg per acre.
10% of agriculture is lost under rain. If seen, in the last four to five years, the best cultivation of wheat has been done in 2024, especially in Punjab, but the farmers of Punjab are very worried; the main reason for this is that the government has decided to increase the rate of wheat per acre. They have given that 3900 rupees, but the people are worried because the government has not bought wheat from them despite giving the rate, and the same people are forced to provide that wheat cheaply to the Udtis because the government is not buying wheat from them.

The wheat of 90% of the farmers of Punjab province is the best crop, but about 30% of them have yet to cultivate their wheat. They say that they will not grow wheat next year. They are forced to give their wheat to outsiders because the government is not buying wheat from them. The exact rate given by the government is Rs. 3900, but they are forced to provide Rs. 2500/2600 to outsiders. That is why the government is not buying wheat from them. Almost every farmer in Punjab is losing 25 to 30 thousand rupees per acre, and this probably breaks the back of the farmer because the farmer is the only person who works hard throughout the year to earn money the next year. Now his back is broken. Next year, farmers in the Punjab province of Pakistan, 30% of the farmers refused to cultivate wheat. If the farmers do not grow, there may be a wheat famine in Pakistan.
The government is not buying wheat from the farmers because the caretaker government has already bought the wheat, so the government has the best stock of wheat at the moment, so it is not buying more wheat from the farmers. The government already has a stock of imported wheat. It cannot buy more wheat from farmers because the government needs warehouses to store more wheat or any wheat stocks. The government has enough money to buy wheat by giving money to all the farmers; perhaps this is the reason why the farmers are forced to sell wheat to outsiders at a very low price compared to the hell given by the government. In contrast, the government has fixed the factory rate of wheat at 3900 While the farmers are forced to provide the same wheat at 2900 and 2800 to outsiders.
