Lahore (Web Desk): Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has approved the deregulation of wheat and the introduction of a free market policy.
Under the new directive, there will be no restrictions on the inter-provincial transportation of wheat from Punjab, allowing farmers to secure competitive prices for their produce.
“With the permission to transport wheat freely from Punjab, farmers will now be able to reap the full value of their harvest,” said the CM.
In another landmark decision, the Punjab CM directed that wheat procurement this year will be carried out through the private sector.
“For the first time in Punjab’s history, wheat will be purchased via the private sector,” she announced, marking a significant move toward liberalizing the agricultural market.
