Pakistan sold 300,000 tonne of wheat for export.

About 300,000 tonnes of wheat from Pakistan was sold to overseas buyers in January after the country started a new state export incentive programme, European traders said on Thursday. An additional 250,000 tonnes of Pakistani wheat is expected to be sold to exporters in coming days. Pakistan has been hardly visible in wheat export markets in past years, with its main sales going to Afghanistan. But a bumper crop last year and large stocks led the Pakistani government to introduce a new export subsidy scheme in January which has sparked a series of large export sales in past weeks.
