Pakistan's Sindh government urges the federal government to increase cotton support prices to aid farmers.

Pakistan's Sindh government calls for a cotton support price increase by the federal government to assist farmers. As a major cotton producer, low prices have led to farmers not sowing cotton crops, potentially affecting other crops like rice. Sindh Agriculture Minister Muhammad Bux Mahar rejects the IRSA's water distribution formula and demands a rise in support prices. Current cotton prices in Pakistan range from Rs8,000 to Rs9,400 per 40kg.
