The Pakistan Kisan Ittehad (PKI) has demanded the government constitute an independent agriculture commission to decide rates of different crops after evaluation of inputs’ costs. Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, PKI Chairman Khalid Khokhar said farmers always sought fair profit against their produce. He, however, lamented that they faced multiple problems due to less prices of different crops. He said that the independent agriculture commission should consist of of experts. He expressed concerns that electricity connections of peasants were being cut and it would surely affect the agricultural productivity. He expressed dismay that farmers were unable to apply fertilisers because of high prices. The soil health had also suffered, he added. Agriculture is mainstay of country’s economy. Without improving economy, it would be difficult to maintain and promote peace, he added.
