The Cabinet approves the FY 2024–2025 wheat procurement policy.

District-level plans for purchasing wheat have been finalized, according to sources in the Food Department.

According to reports, the Food Department set up a network of 393 wheat procurement facilities throughout Punjab to streamline the procurement process.

In order to protect the interests of small-scale farmers, sources state that the qualifying requirements for bard acquisition have been set at a maximum of 6 acres of land.

In addition, as of April 13, the Food Department will begin accepting applications via the Bardana mobile application, which is intended to expedite the application process.

The provincial administration has fixed the wheat support price at Rs 3900 per maund in order to guarantee farmers receive just compensation.
