Re: Karachi tomatoes’ price goes up to Rs.140 per kg
This is all BS. tomatoes are planted every where in Pakistan. I am surprised that tomotoes are only comming from Sukkur and Balchistan? .
no they're not. Here's the thing. In the outskirts of Islamabaad and Rawalpindi there were huge crops of tomatoes grown every year. That is until a few years ago when a lot of political leaders started taking over the land, converting them into their personal farmhouses and depriving farmers of their only way of income. Musharraf and shoukat aziz' names are in that list too. they've consumed this much amount of land and there's no one to question their authority. Tomatoes are being imported from India in huge quantities to at least meet the supply and demand issues.
Oh and btw, Roti ki keemat 3 rupees aur Naan ki keemat 4 rupees ho gaye hai.
