Wheat sowing in Sindh is now nearing completion, and the overall market sentiment in the province remains positive for the 2025–26 season. Compared to previous years, the province is expected to see an increase in cultivated area, supported by both improved farmer participation and favorable market prices.
📊 Higher Cultivation Area Expected This Season
This year, Sindh is projected to cultivate wheat on more than 1.3 million hectares, reflecting an improvement over previous seasons.
👉 Key driver:
- Expansion in farmer participation

👨🌾 Grower Support Program Driving Participation
A major contributing factor to increased sowing is the government-backed Grower Support Program:
- Over 300,000 farmers already registered
- Target participation: 400,000+ growers
👉 The program has played a key role in encouraging farmers to expand wheat cultivation by improving access and support mechanisms.
💰 Strong Market Prices Supporting Wheat Attractiveness
Wheat prices in Sindh are currently at attractive levels:
- Around Rs. 9,800 per 102 kg
👉 This pricing has strengthened farmer confidence and improved expected profitability compared to alternative crops.
🌾 Limited Crop Alternatives Increasing Wheat Preference
Farmers are increasingly favoring wheat due to:
- Limited profitable crop alternatives in the rabi season
- Lower production risk compared to other options
- Stable demand in the domestic market
👉 As a result, wheat is being seen as the most reliable and secure cropping choice
