Flour crisis deepens as millers reduce supply

LAHORE - The flour crises has deepened in the City as the millers are reducing the supply to the markets with every passing day following the wheat price shoot up in the open market, wholesalers revealed here on Thursday.  The flour millers said that the govt should immediately release wheat quota to the mills to overcome shortage and to ensure flour supply at the fixed price.

The government must issue wheat quota from the available stock to control the flour price instead of waiting for the imported wheat.

“We don’t have enough flour bags at the shops for sale. The flour supply is limited but the demand is high,” Ahmed Khan a wholesaler said.
