The agricultural crisis in Pakistan has reached alarming levels, with recent reports highlighting a severe decline in crop production and escalating food shortages. According to Taaza Khabar 24x7, wheat production has plummeted by 13.5% to 28.98 million tons, while cotton output has dropped by 30.7%. This has led to flour prices doubling to PKR 11,000 per sack, exacerbated by halted supplies and mill shutdowns in Punjab. The report underscores the gravity of the situation, noting that the crisis threatens 23.5% of Pakistan's GDP and 37.4% of jobs, with tractor sales falling by 26%. The channel describes the situation as a 'slow-burn national disaster,' with Kamran Khan warning of the risks to farmers, the economy, and food security in 2026.
