HYDERABAD, Oct 20: The Sindh Abadgar Board on Saturday demanded that the government should fix minimum support price for wheat at Rs600 per 40 kilogramme.
The board’s vice-president Dr Zulfiqar Yousfani said in a statement to press that the support price of Rs600 per 40kg would end wheat crisis in the country.
It would not only enable the growers to chalk out their future programme but also motivate them to grow more wheat, he said and demanded that the government should direct sugar mill owners to start crushing season without further delay as the sugarcane was ready to be harvested.
If they started crushing now it would save precious irrigation water and enable growers to sow cotton on the area vacated by sugarcane crop, he said urging the government to direct agriculture department to start its “Grow More Wheat Campaign” and hold seminars in each taluka to educate growers.
