Wheat
Wheat is a staple food crop of Pakistan, dominating all crops in acreage and production. In Pakistan, spring wheat is grown as a Rabi crop in the Sindh, Punjab, NWFP, and Balochistan provinces. In the northern parts of Balochistan, some winter wheat is cultivated on a small scale. Despite rigorous efforts from the government, Pakistan will still fall short of attaining self sufficiency in wheat. Pakistan imports about 2 million tons of wheat at a cost of 8 billion rupees.
