Wheat prices change due to several factors. One reason is how the market works, including the amount of wheat available and demand. Transportation costs also affect prices and can vary by location.Currently, wheat prices in Pakistan range from Rs. 2,600 to Rs. 2,950, which is about Rs. 75 per kg. The government has set a minimum support price of Rs. 3,900 for 40 kg of wheat. However, due to limited government control, actual prices are lower than this target.

As a result, farmers may struggle financially and have trouble investing in their next planting season.
