The Punjab Food Department has put forth a proposal to the government, suggesting an increase in the support price of wheat for the upcoming season, reported 24NewsHd TV channel Saturday.
The recommendations include setting a minimum support price at Rs.3280 per maund, with a potential rise up to Rs.4100 per maund, aiming to stabilize the agricultural sector and ensure fair compensation for farmers in Punjab.
A detailed review of these suggestions is expected to take place during the next Punjab Cabinet meeting, where a final decision will be made. This move is seen as a critical step towards addressing the economic challenges faced by wheat producers in the region.
