Farmers in Pakistan have been protesting against the government’s agricultural policies, particularly the imposition of an agricultural income tax and the import of wheat, which has led to financial losses for local farmers.
The Pakistan Kisan Ittehad, a farmers’ union, known for its advocacy for farmers’ rights and its efforts to address issues such as food security, support prices for crops, and the availability of fertilisers has announced a nationwide protest in December 2024 to oppose these measures.
