Due to lack of procurement, wheat prices fell further, forcing farmers in Punjab and Sindh to sell wheat for up to Rs 2,800 per maund.
On the other hand, no progress has been made between the Punjab government and the farmers regarding the purchase of wheat.
According to sources in the food department, assistance will be started to small farmers through Kisan cards after a few days, but flour mills, seed mills and mills have turned to the market to purchase wheat.
On the other hand, Kisan Ittihad President Khalid Bath and Kisan Bachao Organization leader Javed Sultan have announced the protest and said that demonstrations will be held in all districts against the government’s indifference.
