Chairman Pakistan Kissan Ittehad (PKI) Chaudhary Muhammad Anwar said floor crisis could emerge in future also, in case the government did not enhance wheat price.
The government announced Rs 1365/40kg which was low as compared to price in market these days. In market, the wheat is being traded at Rs 1700 to 1800. He said this while holding press conference here at local press club.
Anwar lamented that government was importing wheat against Rs 1800/maund these days but it was not willing to offer reasonable price to local farmers. He stated that government should revisit and frame new policy and maximum benefit should be given to local farmers.
He maintained when farmers would find more price from open market then they would sell their wheat to owners of floor-mills or stockists. He feared that there would be shortage of wheat in future also.
