Wheat straw in the Faridkot region was selling at Rs 1,100–1,200 per quintal, up from Rs 250–300 during the April–May wheat harvest. Higher prices have strained small dairy farmers and gaushalas, leading cattle owners to collect paddy stubble as a cheaper feed alternative.
Costlier wheat straw raises livestock feeding costs and shifts demand toward paddy stubble, while tighter availability could sustain upward pressure on local straw prices. The impact is regional rather than a broad grain-market signal.
