ISLAMABAD – The price of cooking oil, and Ghee is expected to increase amid shortage of edibles due to delay in clearance of several shipments. The clearance process has been halted for the past week, leaving consignments stuck at ports and creating a significant backlog.

Pakistan Vanaspati Manufacturers Association (PVMA) officials revealed that there is no available space at port terminals to unload the shipments, while ships carrying consignments remain queued at harbor.

The ongoing delays are also leading to increased damages and additional penalties, which could further escalate the cost of edible oil for consumers.

The error in customs software system also resulted in billions of rupees in losses. PVMA officials said if the issue is not resolved promptly, the country of 242 million could face severe shortage of essential cooking oils, further impacting both prices and availability in local market.
