Pakistan Plans Wheat Reserves of Up to 6 Million Tonnes
More than 1.3 million tonnes have already gone to the provinces, with imports of up to 550,000 tonnes possible if needed.
Pakistan plans to maintain strategic wheat reserves of up to 6 million tonnes so supplies stay uninterrupted and shortages can be prevented. The wheat reserves target is a ceiling of 6 million tonnes, not a stock the update says is already in hand.
The government has set the indicative wheat price for 2027 at Rs. 4,500 per 40kg. More than 1.3 million tonnes have already been supplied to the provinces. Imports of up to 550,000 tonnes are possible if needed.
How the wheat reserves plan handles supply
The reserve level is up to 6 million tonnes. The 2027 price is indicative, at Rs. 4,500 per 40kg. Provincial supply already reported is more than 1.3 million tonnes. The import option is up to 550,000 tonnes, and only if it is needed.
Our verdict
The plan pairs a reserve of up to 6 million tonnes with a 2027 indicative price of Rs. 4,500 per 40kg. More than 1.3 million tonnes have already reached the provinces, and imports of up to 550,000 tonnes remain a fallback.
