Sindh will import 5 million tons of wheat.

That is nearly 3 times the province’s own 1.69-million-ton shortfall.

Sindh subsidized farmers into growing more wheat, but its food department procured just 81,000 tons of a 1-million-ton target.

Abadgar Board president Mahmood Nawaz Shah says deregulation cost Pakistan’s growers over a trillion rupees.
