ISLAMABAD – Pakistan is expected to produce at least 25 million tonnes of wheat in the 2010/11 crop, Finance Minister Hafiz Shaikh said on Friday, higher than the initial estimate.
“We are expecting that our wheat crop this year will cross 25 million tonnes,” he told reporters.
Pakistan was expecting to produce 23.5 million tonnes of wheat against a targeted 25 million tonnes because of massive floods in the country last year. But Shaikh said the country would surpass its initial target.
