Free or have to pay ?

免费的还是要付钱?

Pakistan needs to ensure this is not stolen wheat from Ukraine. We cannot afford to buy stolen wheat as it can cost us our reputatoin.

巴基斯坦需要确保这不是从乌克兰偷来的小麦。我们买不起偷来的小麦，那会损害我们的声誉。

Good news and relief for short term.

好消息，短期内能解燃眉之急

Dr.Khan

700,000 tones of wheat is enough for a 220,000,000 people for about three months. Right now Pakistan farmers are not able to sow the new crop.what will happen after the imported wheat is used up .? Is there any other plan being readied?

70万吨小麦足够2.2亿人吃3个月。目前，巴基斯坦农民还无法播种这种新作物。进口的小麦用完后会发生什么？还有别的计划吗？

Rana Talukdar

@Dr.Khan, 700,000 tones of wheat is enough for a 220,000,000 people for about three months.

That is 3.2 kg per person.

BTW, in what subject you got your doctorate?

70万吨小麦足够2.2亿人吃3个月，也就是每人3.2公斤。顺便问一下，你的博士学位是什么专业的?

Infact

Funds yesterday, grains today. Party time in Pakistan!

昨天筹到钱，今日筹到粮。巴基斯坦可以开派对了!

Saleem

Thank you Russia, our eternal friend. Any shipment to Pakistan also means it doesn’t reach India, where famine may now ensue.

谢谢俄罗斯，我们永远的朋友。运往巴基斯坦也意味着不会到达印度，那里现在可能会发生饥荒。

Aadi

@Saleem, India is self sufficient in wheat production. India produced 106.84 million tonnes of wheat. Indian consumption is around 100m tonnes. India is world's second largest producer of wheat after China so don't worry about India.

@Saleem，印度小麦生产自给自足。印度小麦产量为1.0684亿吨。印度的消费量约为1亿吨。印度是仅次于中国的世界第二大小麦生产国，所以不用担心印度。

Sha b

@Saleem, Russia eternal friend? I don't know this.

Please note this wheat is not charity like india donating to Afghanistan. You have to pay each penny with sweat.

@Saleem，俄罗斯，你们永远的朋友？我不知道。

请注意，这些小麦不像印度捐赠给阿富汗那样做慈善的。每一分钱你都必须用汗水来换。

Venus

@Saleem, unfortunately your wish does not arise india has surplus wheat and it is exporting and excess is getting rotten in godowns

@Saleem，不幸的是，你的愿望没有实现，印度有过剩的小麦，正在出口，过剩的小麦正在仓库里腐烂

Sidc

Pakistan is agricultural country and Pakistani can’t feed their own people. Uncontrolled population is the main reason .

巴基斯坦是一个农业国家，巴基斯坦养活不了自己的人民。人口失控是主要原因。

Ali

@Sidc, Hoarding and mafias are the actual reason.

@Sidc，囤积和黑手党才是真正的原因。

Rama

Height of Pakistan incompetency and ineptness , Agriculture country could not with stand a single flood

Pakistan which used to exporter of wheat is now  importer not because of flood alone.

巴基斯坦太无能了，一个农业国家竟然无法承受一场洪水

巴基斯坦过去是小麦出口国，现在是进口国，这不仅仅是因为洪水。

Fact

1 million ton to Punjab. 0.1 million ton to Sindh

给旁遮普100万吨，信德省才10万吨

Constantine

Enjoy free wheat.

享受免费的小麦吧。

It is shameful for us who keep saying that agriculture is the backbone of our economy.

我们一直说农业是我们经济的支柱，丢人。

Welcome relief for our starving masses!

欢迎救济我们饥饿的群众!

Adeel

Pakistan is an agricultural country we, should be embarrassed that we don't have wheat

巴基斯坦是一个农业国家，我们应该为我们没有小麦而感到尴尬

kp

If you cant feed your people then better control this massive population growth else no amount of shipment will be enough as recourses are finite on this planet.

如果你不能养活你的人民，那么最好控制这种大规模的人口增长，否则再多的到货也不够，因为这个星球上的资源是有限的。

Foreign aid is our bread and butter.  Without overseas supplies we are doomed.

外援是我们的生计。没有海外供应，我们就完蛋了。

@Saleem, India gives not begs like you.

印度给别人提供，不像你们，向别人乞讨
