After the wheat crisis in the country, a grave concern of sugar scarcity has emerged in Pakistan, after which the wholesale rate of sugar has mounted from Rs64 to Rs74 per kg.
Further, if the government does not halt the exporting of sugar, the prices of sugar could reach up to Rs100 per kg in Pakistan. Last year, Pakistan produced 600,000 tons of sugar. Now, however, the wholesale rate of sugar is expected to reach Rs80 a kilo next week.
Earlier, Prime Minister Imran Khan took notice of the wheat price hike, ordering a grand operation against hoarders to overcome the crisis.
