# PFMA leader seeks end to flour subsidy conditions

> A leader of the Progressive Group of the Pakistan Flour Mills Association called for a market-oriented wheat policy and targeted financial assistance instead of blanket flour subsidies. He said frequent changes to procurement, release and quota arrangements create uncertainty, and supported the government’s Rs4,500-per-maund wheat support price while calling for wheat release prices to reflect procurement costs.

## Why it matters

Changes to procurement, release pricing and subsidies can affect mill demand and the prices farmers receive, influencing incentives to plant wheat. A support price may underpin producer returns, while market-based release pricing could pass procurement costs through to flour buyers.
