The Secretary also noted that they are also expecting huge water shortages in the coming year due to increasing power shortages and expected hot summer. Tube wells will not run to their full capacity and rice needs three times more water than other crops, he adds.Saying the production costs are too high, he urged the government to consider reducing the prices of agricultural inputs like fertilizers, pesticides and petroleum products to help farmers. He also urged the government to frame strategies to boost exports.Some farmers noted that the government has so far not paid them the compensation package of Rs.5,000 per acre (around $123 per hectare) promised last year to cope up with the falling global rice prices. They urged the government to release the funds at the earliest.

USDA estimates Pakistan's MY 2014-15 (November - October) milled rice production at around 6.9 million tons (around 10.35 million tons, basis paddy). It estimated Pakistan's MY 2015-16 milled rice production to remain unchanged at 6.9 million tons.Last month, Pakistan's Federal Committee on Agriculture (FCA) is targeting to produce 7 million tons, basis milled, (around 10.35 million tons, basis paddy) from an area of around 2.8 million hectares in 2015.
