The Sindh government has announced a significant policy change aimed at strengthening the agricultural sector and directly benefiting small farmers, by abolishing wheat sale limits and the condition of five bags per acre.
Sharjeel Inam Memon today termed this move an “extremely important decision,” saying it would allow farmers to sell their produce at government centers without any hindrance.
He highlighted the government’s “farmer-friendly policies,” citing a support price of Rs 3,500 for wheat and a procurement target of 1 million metric tons as evidence.
Instructions have been issued to expedite the wheat procurement campaign.
Measures are also being taken in low-procurement districts to ensure the overall target.
Mr. Memon praised the provision of fuel subsidy to farmers on the same day through Sindh Bank, calling it an “excellent example of transparency and efficiency.”
He added that timely payments worth millions of rupees have successfully boosted farmers’ confidence.
District administration, assistant commissioners, and other concerned officials have been mobilized in the field to prevent any difficulties in advance.
Farmers are encouraged to sell their wheat at government procurement centers to ensure immediate payment and access to government facilities.
Mr. Memon confirmed that the provincial administration is committed to protecting the interests of those involved in agriculture and ensuring food security throughout Sindh.
