With the country anticipating record production of 25.4 million tonnes of wheat this year, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has expressed satisfaction over rising cereal production in Pakistan in 2014.
In a special report about Pakistan, the FAO has said the official forecast for wheat production has been revised upwards by five per cent from last year’s output, mainly because of a slight expansion in the area under cultivation, favourable weather conditions during Rabi season in the main wheat-producing provinces of Punjab and Sindh and ample supply of fertiliser and water.
