Purchase of wheat in the province of Sind starts from March 5 and will last until April 5.
In order to maintain strategic staple food stocks, and to help producers sell their products at official fixed rates, the federal government decided to launch an early wheat procurement campaign next month.
According to the Food Safety Commissioner, Dr. Imtiaz Ali Gopang, the procurement campaign in the province will begin on March 5, since wheat has already begun harvesting in the regions.
He also said in an interview that the process of purchasing wheat in the Punjab province, which is the largest grain-producing region, will begin on April 5. The main goal of these events is to help farmers, especially small ones, and to avoid shortages in the domestic wheat market.
In Pakistan, the first vertical city farm has opened, which grows environmentally friendly vegetables and herbs. All plants ripen in a special solution instead of the traditional soil, which allows you to create not only a quality product, but also significantly saves resources.
Previously, the Economic Coordinating Committee of the Federal Cabinet of Ministers approved the purchase of 8.25 million tons of wheat during the ongoing procurement campaign.
- The other day, representatives of the public relations department of the committee for coordinating the economic situation under the government of the state of Pakistan reported that the state authorities extended the ban on shipment of wheat to the foreign market for an indefinite period.
- Over the past few years, production in New South Wales and Queensland has been hit hardest by harsh arid conditions, resulting in lower yields for hay crops.
- Earlier we wrote about how to store wheat of different varieties: expiration dates and permissible humidity.
