Minister for Economic Affairs Ahad Cheema says the federal government will try its level best to fulfill the wheat requirements of the provinces from PASSCO stocks.

He expressed these views while chairing a meeting to review the country's wheat situation and assess the current demand and supply position across the provinces.

The Minister said the government's foremost priority is to safeguard the interests of both the public and farmers while ensuring uninterrupted availability of wheat across the country.

He stressed that every decision regarding wheat management would be taken keeping in view domestic production, market conditions, and the welfare of local farmers.

The Minister further directed all relevant authorities to maintain strict vigilance against hoarding and market manipulation to ensure sufficient wheat availability in the market before the upcoming sowing season.

The meeting also reviewed the availability of petroleum products and discussed concerns regarding the hoarding of fuel by certain oil marketing companies.

Reaffirming the government's commitment to maintaining energy security, Ahad Cheema said that Pakistan has sufficient stocks of petroleum products and there is no shortage of fuel in the country.

He made it clear that the government will not allow any Oil Marketing Company or petrol pump to create an artificial shortage for profiteering.
