The Caretaker Federal Government of Pakistan has decided to ban the import of wheat, sources said.
According to sources, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) took the decision to ban the state-level import of wheat as the flour prices in Pakistan are stable and the country has enough reserves.
Sources within the government revealed that Pakistan has ample amount of wheat to meet the needs of the country.
The decision came after the Ministry of National Food Security briefed the ECC on wheat supply whereas the committee applauded the measures taken by the ministry in this regard.—INP
