Re: The crises like never before
We should remember that past corrupts have plenty of ill-gotten money to throw for their interest. There are many world powers who are upset about Pakistan progress too. Anyhow:
Did anyone ever though that why Atta is short just before election ... something that has never happened before? Or that who could be behind this shortage?
We should know that population of Pakistan is 160 million and Pakistan needs no more than 17 to 18 million tons of wheat at most. Estimated Paksitan wheat production was around 23 million tons and even if one or two million ton production was short, still there should not have been any shoratage (plus, one should remember that government also keeps few million tons of wheat as buffer stock from past harvests). But I believe that corrupt politicians wanting to win elections with plenty of illegally acquired money can do wonders, especially just before election.
For instance ... if 1 KG wheat can fead 4 people a day (that is average ... where even newly born child is included) than 160 million people would need 14.6 million Ton of wheat a year. Now think how can there be shortage of wheat in the country, even if a million or two got exported?
