Pakistan: Sugar, flour prices spike in Balochistan

By IBNS
May 31, 2023..

Pakistan's Balochistan region is witnessing a spike in the price of sugar and flour, media reports said on Wednesday.


In various districts including the provincial capital Quetta, sugar is being sold from PKR 130 to PKR 200 per kilo while flour is being sold from PKR 2,600 to PKR 4,000 for 20 kg, reports ANI.

The price of sugar is the highest in Dalbandin at PKR 200 per kg, while the highest price of flour is recorded at PKR 4000 per 20 kg in Sahabatpur, reported Roznama Intekhab, the Indian news agency reported.

Notably, Pakistan has been reeling under the flour crisis even at the time of Ramadan and the shortage continues. Earlier, in May the Flour Mills Association of Pakistan announced an indefinite shutdown of all mills, Pakistan-based ARY News reported as quoted by ANI.

Chairman of the Flour Mills Association Chaudhry Aamir in a press conference said that the flour mills will be forced to go on strike from 7 pm on Thursday because the food department has cheated them.

He said that when the mills had gone on strike due to the ban on the arrival of wheat from inside Sindh to Karachi, at that time the provincial Food Minister had promised five million bags of wheat. Those were enough for the mills of Karachi for two months. On the assurance, flour mills ended the strike, according to ARY News as quoted by ANI.
