India's neighboring country Pakistan has been going through a crisis for the last few months. Due to political upheaval, the country is also struggling on the economic front. Now the country is also facing natural calamities. Many parts of Pakistan are facing severe floods.
Due to inflation, the life of the common man is difficult.
Amid these adverse circumstances, inflation has also made life difficult for the common man of Pakistan. Food and drink are getting out of reach of the people. People are not even able to buy vegetables. According to media reports, these days tomato is being sold at the price of Rs 500 per kg and onion at Rs 400 per kg in the mandis of Pakistan.
Vegetable arrival is less, considering to import
Dealers in Lahore's vegetable market say that due to the rising prices of tomatoes and onions in the domestic market, now the mind is being made to import these vegetables. He says that due to the inundation, there has been heavy damage to vegetables and crops in many areas. The food crisis has arisen in front of the people. Vegetable prices are skyrocketing in many parts of Pakistani Paw, including Lahore.
Vegetables are not being supplied due to floods
According to media reports, the tomato was sold for Rs 500 a kg while onion was sold for Rs 400 a kg in Pakistan on Sunday. Vegetables are not being supplied from Balochistan, Sindh, and South Punjab due to floods. Because of the shortage of vegetables, it is speculated that the prices of tomatoes and onions may reach Rs 700 per kg in the coming days. Potato can also sell from Rs 40 per kg to Rs 120 per kg.
Crops planted on thousands of acres were ruined
According to media reports, thousands of acres of tomato, onion, and other vegetable crops were destroyed due to inundation in Balochistan and Sindh region. The situation has worsened so much that now the Pakistani government is considering importing tomatoes and onions from India through the Wagah border. At present, tomatoes and onions are being supplied from Afghanistan through the Torkham border to other cities of Pakistani Punjab including Lahore.
Fruit prices also increased sharply
According to market experts of Pakistan, there is an option to import tomatoes and onions from Iran through the Taftan border of Balochistan, but the Iranian government has increased the tax on import-export significantly. If imported at an expensive rate, it will not benefit the local customers. The prices of dates and bananas may also see a rise in the future. There is no supply of apples from Balochistan and other areas.
The crisis looming over the grain
The loss of cotton crops due to floods in Pakistan has caused a loss of $ 2.6 billion. Sugar and clothing exports also suffered a loss of one billion dollars. About two million tonnes of wheat kept in government godowns in Sindh province has been wasted due to rain and inundation. Looking at the latest situation, there is a possibility that the neighboring country of Pakistan may also face a food crisis in the coming times.
