IslamabadSowing starts within weeks, but Pakistan has no wheat price.

Punjab and Sindh also face an anticipated 22% water shortage for Rabi irrigation.

The food security ministry said targets wait on an illustrative price, and an eight-member committee is advising the prime minister.

Officials report satisfactory certified seed and 3.95 million tonnes of urea against expected offtake of 3.5 million.

Rabi targets stay unset until the government announces the illustrative price, with sowing weeks away.
