Sindh CM Confirms Sufficient Wheat Stocks to Keep Prices Stable
Karachi – Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has assured that the province has ample wheat stocks to maintain stable prices of flour and bread in the coming months.
Speaking at a meeting held at the CM House, CM Shah highlighted that Sindh currently holds 1.2 million tons of wheat, with an additional 600,000 tons available in the private sector. “These stocks are enough to last the next four and a half months, until the new harvest arrives,” he said.
The meeting was attended by Agriculture Minister Muhammad Bux Mahar, Food Minister Makhdoom Mehboobuz Zaman, Chief Secretary Asif Hyder Shah, and other senior officials.
CM Shah instructed the food minister to draft a comprehensive wheat release policy and get it approved promptly. “I want to finalize the wheat release policy and fix the price within this week,” he added.
Food Minister Makhdoom Mehboob reported that approximately 250,000 tons of wheat are released to the market each month under normal circumstances.
Highlighting government support for farmers, CM Shah said, “To boost production, we are supporting wheat growers with 25 acres or less by providing one bag of DAP and two bags of urea fertilizer each. I also want to set the support price to encourage a bumper wheat crop.”
