PKI President to hold presser on wheat pricing today

LAHORE  –  Pakistan Kissan Ittehad (PKI) Presi­dent Khalid Mahmood Khokhar will hold an important press conference today (Wednesday) regarding the government’s decision on wheat pricing to ensure food security.

The press conference will be held at 2 pm at the Nisar Usmani Audito­rium of the Lahore Press Club.

It is pertinent to mention that Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif today chaired the first meeting of the National Agriculture and Food Security Council (NAFSC) in Islam­abad. During the meeting, the prime minister stressed that ensuring fair prices for farmers’ crops, particular­ly those of small and medium-scale farmers, was a priority. He added that the wheat price needed to be deter­mined before sowing to ensure that farmers received appropriate com­pensation for their hard work. “We want farmers to get the right price for wheat and consumers to have access to affordable wheat. The decision re­garding the wheat price will be made in consultation with the provinces,” the prime minister said.
