Re: Kabul closes Pak-Afghan border in protest over Pakistani flour export ban
For all the complaints in Pakistan about the cost of flour, it costs almost twice as much in Afghanistan because Pakistani farmers, unlike Afghan farmers, grow wheat instead of narcotics. (And then Afghans have the gall to blame Pakistan for their problems.....)
Stopping exports should help lower the price of flour to Pakistanis, though an unfortunate side effect will probably be to condemn a very large number of Afghans to starvation. Oh well... the best interests of Pakistanis are more important than those of Afghans.
Well, I am sure people that are talking about flour shortage in Pakistan will not mind if the flour stays in pakistan.
