Why Wheat Prices Are High in October 2026
1. New support price for the 2027 crop: On 23 October 2026, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif set an indicative wheat price of Rs. 4,500 per 40kg for the 2027 crop, Rs. 1,000 more than the Rs. 3,500 set for the 2026 harvest. Farmer groups such as Kissan Ittehad had demanded Rs. 5,000 per 40kg.
2. Sowing season demand: Wheat sowing starts in late October and November. Seed demand and stock holding by traders and flour mills push mandi rates up at this time of year.
3. Expensive flour: PBS data shows the national average price of a 20kg atta bag is about 36% higher than last year. Higher milling, electricity and transport costs are passed on to consumers.
4. High input costs: DAP fertilizer now costs about Rs. 16,000 per bag and urea about Rs. 4,500–4,650 per bag. This raises the cost of growing wheat, so farmers had asked for a higher support price.
5. City-to-city difference: Mandis close to surplus areas (Rahim Yar Khan, Bahawalpur, Toba Tek Singh) have lower rates, while deficit areas such as Rawalpindi, Quetta and parts of KPK pay more because of transport costs.
Wheat Price Outlook
With the indicative price now fixed at Rs. 4,500 per 40kg for the 2027 crop, mandi rates are likely to stay close to the current range. Food Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain has said he expects market prices to ease in the coming days, and the government is holding 1 million tonnes of wheat in reserve.
Conclusion
Wheat prices are still high in Pakistan owing to local production problems, reliance on imports, and international economic factors. As relief measures are being put into place, long-term food security relies heavily on strategic foresight in planning, climate-responsive agriculture, and well-balanced control of markets. For both consumers and policymakers, wheat prices symbolize more than mere figures—they represent quite sensitive matters such as economic well-being and social equilibrium.
