Authorities in Pakistan have warned that people hoarding wheat will have their stocks confiscated unless they sell it to government agencies.
The government says production of wheat will fall a million tonnes short of what the country requires this year.
There have been accusations that some Pakistani traders are illegally selling wheat intended for domestic use abroad.
The government has also said it will reward anyone who informs on people hoarding wheat, a staple food.
Authorities believe hoarding of wheat is one the main reasons for rising food prices.

KARACHI: Flour prices are on a constant rise and the commodity is being sold for Rs28 to Rs30 per kg all over Karachi while some dealers are charging up to Rs32 per kg in some localities as the government seems helpless to control runaway prices.
Despite the fact that the government has enhanced wheat support price from Rs510 to Rs625 per maund, wheat crisis continues with the government playing blame game with Sindh and Punjab and flour mill owners
TO WHOME WE SHOULD BLAME
GOVERNMENT OR FLOUR MILLS ?
anyway IT MAKES NO DEFFRENCE as
BOTH ARE RUN by OUR CORRUPT POLITICIANS
