Abolishing wheat sale limit to build farmers' confidence

Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, has said that abolishing the wheat sale limit and the five-sacks-per-acre condition is a highly important decision. The Sindh government's move will directly benefit small farmers, enabling them to sell their produce at government centres without any hindrance.

In a statement, Sharjeel said that setting the wheat support price at Rs3,500 and fixing the procurement target at one million tons reflects the government's farmer-friendly policies. Instructions to accelerate the wheat procurement campaign and take measures in districts with low procurement will help ensure that the target is achieved.

He added that providing a fuel subsidy to farmers through a designated bank within a day is a strong example of transparency and efficiency. So far, the timely disbursement of millions of rupees has increased farmers' confidence.

Sharjeel said that the district administration, assistant commissioners, and other concerned officers have been mobilised in the field to ensure that farmers do not face any problems. Farmers are encouraged to sell their wheat at government procurement centres to receive immediate payment and access government facilities.

He said that the Sindh government will continue to take all possible steps to protect farmers' interests and ensure the province's food security.
