Historic wheat prices rise in Pakistan, All Pakistan Floor Association protests

- Rs.60 per kg is charged

Islamabad on Wednesday, October 7, 2020

Reports of Imran Khan's wheat prices skyrocketing in Pakistan were published by the Pakistani media itself. The current price of one kg of wheat is Rs. Were 60. This was the highest price of wheat in the history of Pakistan. Wheat prices started rising in December last year. At that time the price of wheat was Rs.40 per kg. Today it is Rs 60 per kg.

Imran Khan's government has on more than one occasion promised to provide basic necessities, especially foodgrains, at reasonable prices to all, but that promise has not materialized. People shouted. Such a price was such an unaffordable boom. The government blamed flour mills for the rise in wheat prices.

The All Pakistan Floor Association refuted the government's claim and said that the harvest season has already started in Sindh and will start next month in Punjab. The government should immediately fix the price of wheat and make an official announcement. The farmers demanded that the government fix the price of certified seeds immediately and fix the price of 50 kg sack of seeds in the next 24 hours.

"The government blamed us for hiding its failure," the floor association said. The Imran government claimed that two lakh metric tonnes of wheat had been imported from Russia. Once the wheat arrives in a month and a half, then the price of wheat will come under control.

The fact is that before the Corona came, Pakistan's economy was in shambles. Meanwhile, the corona virus struck and locusts invaded Pakistani farms, causing severe damage to standing crops. Hundreds of acres of land were destroyed. At the same time, economists predicted that this year would be a food crisis for Pakistan.
