Key Factors Driving Wheat Prices in July 2025

The following interconnected issues are causing the current situation of wheat pricing in Pakistan:

1 Decreased Domestic Production

Wheat production for the 2024-25 season was almost 8% less than the government’s set target, which can be attributed to:

  • Underperforming rainfall during winter months for important crop regions.
  • Soaring costs of agrochemicals and thus, farmer expenditure.
  • Famine of energy, particularly around irrigation and harvesting.

The aforementioned problems have created a need for greater imports, however, this is not without complications.

2 Global Market Developments as well Pakistan Imports Dependency

This year, Pakistan has almost met the domestic demand with an import of 1.5 million tonnes of wheat. However, geopolitcal conflicts in the black sea region along with irregular weather in Europe and North America have raised the prices of wheat worldwide.

Such reasons have increased the cost of importing goods, which in turn has also raised the domestic prices, particularly in areas with weak supply chains.

3 Changes in the Value of Currency and Inflation

The exchange rate puts continuous stress on the Pakistani rupee which remains around 310 rupees for a dollar. This has a much larger effect on the import inflation of agricultural goods such as wheat, increasing the already existing inflation in prices of food.

The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics puts inflation on average around 18 percent year on year for July 2025 with food inflation estimated to be at an even higher margin of 22 percent

4 Challenges of Distribution and Transportation Actually Faced Today

Availability of wheat is influenced by current fuel price wars and persisting road network issues due to floods in southern Punjab and northern Sindh. Such logistical issues lead to spurious shortages in far off districts along with regional price fluctuations.

Government Response and Market Outlook

The federal and provincial governments have implemented various measures to contain the market:

  • To help stabilize the price of atta, the Punjab Food Department is now supplying wheat stocks to flour mills at subsidized rates.
  • To shield vulnerable households from the surge in flour prices, targeted subsidies through the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) are being considered.
  • Negotiations are in progress with some international counterparts like Russia and Kazakhstan regarding government-to-government wheat procurement agreements at lower-than-market prices.

If the planned import shipment schedule is adhered to and if timely, proactive provisions along with conducive weather are available during the forthcoming rabi season, there may be stabilization around 2025.

Conclusion

wheat prices are still elevated 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.

The current price of wheat in Pakistan ranges between Rs. 2300 to Rs. 2500 per 40 Kg. Prices fluctuate depending on the region and the quality of the wheat. Major cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Faisalabad may have slightly different prices due to supply and demand conditions

The cost of wheat in Pakistan varies from city to city. Transportation costs, industrial supply chains, and the supply and demand in a city dictate the price of wheat. Islamabad and Multan or Islamabad and Peshawar are good examples of this. In this case, Islamabad is a larger city so its prices tend to be on the higher end.

In Pakistan, the quality of wheat, its local demand, transport costs, and government policies regarding wheat imports and procurement affect its price. Also, seasonal changes along with global wheat prices determine local rates, and so does the duration of the wheat harvest.
