Pakistan is facing the worst food crisis...


People in pakistan have longed for flour. For the past several weeks, the prices of wheat and flour have increased so much that the common man is not able to buy it. Long queues are seen at the ration shops to get government-subsidized flour. There was such a stampede for flour in Sindh that a boy lost his life. Pictures of people running after gunny bags laden on trucks are coming to the fore from other places.

There are many reasons for the sudden inflation in Pakistan. The shortage of flour has increased because many factors together are worsening the condition of Pakistan. The state governments of pakistan are accusing each other, but experts say that flour has become costlier in pakistan due to other reasons. Flour has become costlier in pakistan due to the Russia-Ukraine war, severe floods in 2022 and the smuggling of wheat in Afghanistan.

What are the current flour prices in Pakistan?

Wheat production is good in the punjab and Sindh provinces of Pakistan. While flour is available at Rs 145 per kg in punjab, the price of wheat is Rs 160 per kg in Sindh. The prices of flour are skyrocketing in khyber pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.

According to a report in gulf News, the prices of 5 kg and 10 kg bags of flour in pakistan have almost doubled as compared to a year ago. A roti costs 25 Pakistani rupees and a naan costs 30 Pakistani rupees in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, respectively.
