A leader of the Progressive Group of Pakistan’s Flour Mills Association urged the government to adopt a market-oriented wheat policy, encourage competition among flour mills and replace blanket flour subsidies with targeted aid for low-income households. He argued that shifting procurement, release and price-control policies have created uncertainty, while a support price of Rs4,500 per maund could encourage farmers to plant wheat.
Changes to procurement, subsidies and wheat-release pricing could alter Pakistan’s farm incentives and the cost and availability of wheat for millers. A market-linked policy could support prices when supply is tight, while targeted assistance would shift support away from broad consumer price controls.
