Overview
- Sindh will procure 0.8 to 1.2 million tonnes of wheat in the 2025–26 season to steady markets and ensure fair returns to growers.
- Small farmers will receive one bag of DAP and two bags of urea per acre at subsidised rates, with timely delivery under district oversight.
- The support price is fixed at Rs3,500 per 40kg after the province dropped a Rs4,000 proposal, with PPP leadership credited for securing federal approval under fiscal constraints.
- A proposed tripling of agricultural income tax has been deferred, restoring a 15 percent rate to reduce pressure on cultivators.
- Officials pledge transparent procurement and prompt payments, citing last year’s drive that prevented shortages and imports, while ordering coordination on certified seed movement and other logistics.
