Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has approved a comprehensive package for wheat farmers amounting to one hundred and ten billion rupees to facilitate wheat farmers across the province.

During a special meeting on wheat in Lahore on Monday, the Chief Minister approved several initiatives and key decisions.

The meeting endorsed a twenty-five billion rupees allocation for the Wheat Farmer Support Program, which will enable wheat farmers to receive 25,000 rupees for every five acres cultivated, as per the Chief Minister's directives.

Additionally, the meeting approved an amendment to the law mandating flour mills to purchase a minimum of 25 percent of wheat supply.

The Chief Minister tasked the provincial Agriculture Minister with overseeing the wheat procurement campaign and directed the Price Control Department to assist in this effort.
