Pakistan’s soon-to-be harvested 2015/16 wheat crop is forecast at 25.5 million tons, unchanged from the revised 2014/15 record production estimate. The Government has established a procurement target of 6.6 million metric tons which is expected to raise government-held stocks to a hefty 10.0 million metric tons at the completion of the procurement season in a few months. Wheat trade estimates are largely unchanged from year to year and Afghanistan remains Pakistan’s largest export market, taking 600,000 metric tons of wheat (in the form of flour). 2015/16 rice exports are forecast at 3.8 million metric tons, up slightly from the revised current year estimate. 2013/14 proved to be a disappointing year for rice exports and rice stock levels are expected to continue accumulating reaching a record 2.0 million metric tons at the end of 2015/16 as Basmati exports face stiff competition and export demand remains soft.
