PPP pushed pro-farmer wheat policy: Sharjeel

KARACHI:

Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said the federal government's new wheat procurement mechanism is the outcome of the PPP consistent demand and principled stance on protecting farmers' rights.

In a statement, Memon said the PPP has always advocated for the agricultural sector, and the federal decision mirrors the party's pro-farmer vision. He termed the announcement of the wheat support price a major achievement, noting that no such measure was taken last year. He said the move will directly benefit growers, increase wheat production, save foreign exchange, and promote national self-sufficiency.
