The other day, representatives of the public relations department of the committee for coordinating the economic situation under the government of the state of Pakistan reported that the state authorities extended the ban on shipment of wheat to the foreign market for an indefinite period.
It is noteworthy that the ban applies not only to grain, but also to wheat flour.
Based on the data of The Economic Coordination Committee, it can be said that the refusal to resume export of wheat products is related to stabilizing the pricing policy for this group of goods inside Pakistan.
It will not be superfluous to note that the Pakistani government decided to suspend external shipments of wheat produced by local farmers in the middle of the summer of this year, even though in the country at that time (as well as at this time) there was an excess of state grain reserves.
It should be added that today, with the annual demand of the inhabitants of Pakistan for twenty-five million eight hundred thousand tons of wheat, about twenty-eight million tons of products are in the state bins of the country.
These data were shared with the public by the press service of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock of Pakistan.
