flag Pakistan’s wheat deregulation caused price spikes and shortages, leading to policy reversal and emergency measures.

flag Pakistan’s wheat deregulation policy, aimed at modernizing agriculture, has triggered chaos with soaring prices, supply disruptions, and farmer distress. flag In Punjab, prices surged from Rs2,300 to Rs4,000 per maund due to unchecked hoarding and lack of oversight, prompting a reversal with price caps, transport bans, and warehouse raids. flag In Sindh, the cabinet approved a Wheat Release Policy to stabilize flour prices at 9,500 rupees per 100 kg sack and support small farmers. flag Experts warn the abrupt reforms, lacking infrastructure, credit access, and safeguards, have undermined food security, damaged investor confidence, and risk long-term decline in domestic wheat production.
