KP govt to buy wheat directly from farmers in KP

The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has announced to directly purchase 225000 tons of wheat from local farmers during the current season.

Officials announced a bold new policy on Monday to ensure fair pay for farmers and steady wheat and flour prices. By cutting out middlemen, the government boosts farmers’ income and streamlines the supply chain. Special steps make procurement transparent and easy for growers. The government assures payments within a day of purchase, in cash for immediate relief.

This enables them to prepare for the next sowing season. The provincial team also plans to stock adequate wheat in all government godowns. The objective remains the same: ensure wheat stays available all year, prevent artificial scarcity and keep prices affordable for all.

Moreover, this guarantees affordable flour for the public. Government sources say previous actions before Ramzan were successful in cutting the wheat and flour prices not only in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but also in other provinces. As a result, both farmers and buyers gain from this smart approach.

Farmers receive proper prices and quick payment, and buyers receive affordable, steady food prices. Looking ahead, the policy supports the farm economy and stabilises prices. This program is a win for food security. This policy is a win-win for farmers and consumers. Through efficiency, equity and stockpile, leaders leave a long-lasting positive impact. History shows it makes a difference, boosting confidence and food production.
