An anti-adulteration campaign in Punjab is being started as per the vision/ instructions of Chief Minister Punjab to ensure safety and quality of food items for general public.
Food security is defined as access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life and includes at a minimum:
- The ready availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, and
- the assured ability to acquire acceptable food in socially acceptable ways (e.g. without resorting to emergency food supplies, scavenging, stealing, and other coping strategies
Wheat plays a central role in Pakistan's food economy, both in terms of production and consumption. Because of the importance of wheat, successive governments of Pakistan since Independence have intervened heavily in wheat markets, procuring wheat at administratively set prices to support farmer incomes and subsidizing wheat sales to flour mills or directly to consumers with the objective of stabilizing prices at levels affordable to consumers.
Each year Government announces support price of wheat to safeguard the interest of growers. Provincial Food departments as well as PASSCO procure wheat from the growers directly at the Minimum Guaranteed Price fixed by the Government. With this intervention from the public sector, exploitation of growers by the traders/arhties is minimized and they get the price of their produce directly from the authorized banks without any delay.
