Pakistan's Punjab is geotagging wheat stocks and restricting interprovincial trade to prevent a food crisis after floods destroyed crops and reserves. Prices spiked in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, sparking protests in Sindh and KP. Authorities cracked down on hoarding, recovering 334,000 metric tonnes of wheat, which boosted mill reserves and lowered flour prices from PKR 3,800 to PKR 3,000 per 40kg.
