"The Indian government gives Rs 2,800 billion subsidy to its farmers but in Sindh province, the farmers don't even get the crop prices which are fixed by the provincial government," he complained.
He said the import of crops from India was affecting the farmers because the cost of production was higher in Pakistan due to disproportionately lower subsidies.
