Underpinning the wheat price is not only news of strong buying of wheat and corn in China but the increasing reports of Pakistanis desperate need for animal feed. The UN has asked for $5.7 million in emergency assistance for livestock and FAO has mobilized $1.4 million of funds for the procurement of feedstuff and for animal health vaccines. FAO will be asking for more money for this sector once the full scale of needs is clear. The floods have affected the most densely populated livestock areas in Pakistan. Livestock make up about half of agricultural GDP.
