Dar reviews progress on wheat import

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar presided over the 7th meeting of the Steering Committee on Wheat Import for the 2026-27 food year on Tuesday, according to Business Recorder. Reviewing the progress of imports, he noted that enough quantities had been secured to meet what the provinces requested. The first cargo is due to dock at Karachi before the current month ends.

He also directed that imported grain, together with wheat already earmarked for the provinces by PASSCO, be used to keep prices stable and ease pressure on consumers. The gathering was joined by the federal ministers for National Food Security and Research and for Commerce, SAPM Tariq Bajwa, the ministry secretary, provincial secretaries and other stakeholders.
