The unending food crisis may take a turn for the worse owing to an estimated poor wheat yield in Pakistan. According to Business Recorder (April 18), "the wheat output is likely to fall to 20-22 million tonnes as against the target of 24 million tonnes, necessitating imports of nearly 3 million tonnes this season.' Last year Pakistan had to import 1.7 million tonnes of wheat because of an acute shortage of this essential commodity.
