Islamabad, 15 Oct 2023: Caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar, responding to reports of cotton being purchased below government stipulated prices, has mandated the acquisition of cotton at the government-fixed rate. The move seeks to protect the interests of the farming community.
Emphasizing the significance of the successful cotton yield, Prime Minister Kakar stressed that the benefits of such a prosperous crop should be passed down to the farmers.
In response to these observations, he has instructed the Trading Corporation of Pakistan to review the situation and present a detailed report about the procurement prices.
