# Wheat Policy Flour Millers Seek Market Reform

> Pakistan’s Progressive group of the Flour Mills Association urged the government to let market forces set wheat prices and replace broad flour subsidies with direct support for low-income households. Millers said shifting procurement and release policies have disrupted the market; the government’s support price for the 2027 crop is Rs4,500 per maund, while released wheat is priced below the market rate.

## Why it matters

If adopted, market-based pricing and targeted subsidies could reduce government-directed price distortions and change the cost of wheat available to mills. The proposal has not been implemented, so the immediate price effect is uncertain.
