Sindh wheat shortfall of 1.69m tonnes, business leaders warn
Hyderabad business groups and an FPCCI subcommittee chairman say Sindh's wheat stocks will not last until the new harvest, and they urge stock checks and private imports.
Business and trade leaders in Hyderabad warn that a wheat shortage could become a flour crisis within a couple of months.
FPCCI subcommittee chairman Yaser Malik puts Sindh's 2026-27 wheat shortfall at 1.69m tonnes.
Sindh's stocks, plus Passco supplies and planned imports, total 836,414 tonnes, which he says is not enough until the new crop arrives.
Leaders want stock checks, duty-free private imports and an action plan to keep flour prices reasonable.
