Why Is the Wheat Price Important in 2025?
In 2025, the wheat price in Pakistan will directly affect:
Food security
Bread and flour prices (atta)
Farmer income
Inflation and daily expenses
With wheat being the staple food for most households in Pakistan, even a small price fluctuation can impact millions of people.
Government’s Role in Wheat Pricing – How Rates Are Set
The Government of Pakistan, in collaboration with provincial agriculture departments, sets the official support price for wheat before the sowing season. This ensures that:
Farmers receive fair returns
Grain hoarding is discouraged
Millers and market players follow regulated prices
This system also includes subsidies, storage support, and procurement campaigns led by PASSCO and provincial food departments.
Market vs. Support Price – What’s the Difference?
It’s crucial to understand the difference between market price and support price:
Support Price: The fixed rate announced by the government
Market Price: The actual buying/selling price in open markets
In some areas, market prices exceed the support rate due to high demand, while in others, especially rural zones, it may stay lower due to limited transport or access to buyers.
