[Pakistan] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 10, 2025, farmers affiliated with Pakistan Kissan Ittehad (PKI) held a peaceful protest outside the press club in Multan, Punjab, demanding guaranteed pricing for wheat crops they cultivated following government encouragement from the Chief Minister.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether farmer grievances spread to other agricultural regions in Punjab province.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of farmer protests to other districts in Punjab or key agricultural areas if wheat pricing disputes remain unresolved
• Watch for any disruptions to local grain collection or transport if demonstrations intensify beyond peaceful gatherings
