Re: thank you shaukat aziz
Brother, I did found out … there is no supply problem in Pakistan, only price problem (that is artificially kept low by government).
This is what happen when government artificially tries to keep price within the country down from international market … That is when world price of wheat has gone too high because of shortage of wheat supply … Pakistan government is trying to keep price down and that they are doing it by supplying wheat in utilities stores at rock bottom price of (Rs 260 to Rs 310) for 20 Kg when world market price is around Rs 700 per 20 Kg.
This policy is keeping Pakistan open market price down … still it is around Rs 500 per Kg … but if government keep supplying more and more wheat to utility stores just to keep the que down … local market price would furhter reduce … but that is only going to create grudge amongst wheat producers, distributers, millers, wholesellers, and retailers … and it is happening, as many are closing down.
I do not think that it is good idea to subsidise wheat to people using tax payer money … and not use that money for developing the country’s infrastructure.
