The price of a 20-kilogram bag of flour has reached PKR 2,500, the highest ever recorded. This sharp rise has created serious problems for consumers who are already struggling with heavy inflation.
The increase in flour prices is linked to several reasons, including problems in the wheat supply chain, higher production costs, and overall inflation. Because of these issues, the prices of basic food items have gone up, putting more pressure on households across the country.
Experts say that quick steps are needed to control the market and reduce the burden on people. They recommend boosting local wheat production, making supply chains more efficient, and giving subsidies to low-income families.
They have called on the government to take urgent action to tackle the root causes of this price hike and to make sure essential food items stay affordable for everyone.
