With best agricultural land and plenty of water in Pakistan, if it suffers food shortage then shame on the triumvirate of Pakistani rulers of Businessmen, Army and Bureacrats.

ppls in poor nations say "the western or Chinese stole resources" but its just utter misanagement and corruption mainly. Venezvuela has the most oil of all nations and is the poorest among them. You can also look at Nairu, they had no resource managment in place. Compare this to Norway who is funnelling its own gas and oil poceeds to a reseve fund for the people.

Low IQ nations cannot see how to utlize something for years to come.

@Jazzbot @Areesh


Ary news ?

3200 pkr for 20 kg flour bag,
rate is 160 pkr per kg,

still very very costly.

but 320 pkr per kg is Fake News.

You should look carefully what Ary News is saying...

but what we can expect from Panama certified thieves?
Real culprit are generals who made it possible to rule PDM on us.
Corruption of current pm brother is exposed by Panama papers.

Why bother producing wheat when you can build housing societies and earn billions easily?

 

[SoulSpokesman]

@Areesh bhai,

Nobody is selling aata at 320. Main nai khud chand din pehlai 170 per kilo par lia hai aata.

320 obviously a calculation mistake made by the dumb Godi media. Btw, the price of Rs 170/kg you are quoting isnt excessive at all. Adjusted for exchange rate, good quality atta costs almost the same in India.

Regards

Cost comes to around 50 INR per Kg. We get in around 35-40 INR. Not big difference considering flood last year.

He usually doesn't responds to these threads though, as these are not related to IK and won't earn him a few bucks.

Our esteemed GHQ Hyenas will ensure that Pakistani people will remain destroyed and enslaved for many more decades. This is the fate of 250-million people who refuse to fight for their basic human rights.

Based on income per capita

Prices should be lower in Pakistan, it only means the people are earning less and buying more costly items.

Pakistani people do not deserve to pay min twice as much as India.

The predicament is further compounded by the soaring sugar prices, reaching an all-time high of Rs 160 per kilogram in retail markets across Pakistan.
Synopsis
Karachi, Pakistan's major city, is now facing the highest flour prices in the world, standing at Rs 160 per kilogram or Rs 3,200 per 20 kilograms, marking its highest price in 58 years. This has surpassed the previous high of Rs 3,000 for a 20 kg bag, making it the most expensive flour city in Pakistan. Other Pakistani cities are also witnessing a significant rise in prices of flour and sugar, putting immense financial strain on the population. Karachi has been ranked one of the world's least livable cities, adding to the city's woes.


The economic turmoil in Pakistan, has reached a critical point, with its major city of Karachi now burdened with the highest flour prices in the world. As per a report by ARY news, the cost of Atta (Flour) in Karachi has surged to an unprecedented peak, with prices reaching Rs 160 per kilogram or Rs 3,200 per 20 kilograms. This exorbitant rate means that a mere 1 kilogram of flour now costs Rs 160, marking the highest price in 58 years, and signaling the severity of the ongoing economic hardships in the city.
Notably, Karachi's current flour prices have surpassed the previous all-time high of Rs 3,000 for a 20 kg bag, making it the most expensive flour city in the entire nation, even outpacing Hyderabad.

The soaring prices of essential commodities are not limited to Karachi alone. Other major Pakistani cities, including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, and Khuzdar, are also wittnessing significant rise in prices of flour. A 20 kg bag of flour now costs Rs 106, Rs 200 more, respectively, in these cities. Smaller urban centers like Bahawalpur, Multan, Sukkur, and Quetta are also facing pinch of the crisis with prices rising to Rs 146, Rs 93, Rs 120, and Rs 100, respectively, putting immense financial strain on the population.


The predicament is further compounded by the soaring sugar prices, reaching an all-time high of Rs 160 per kilogram in retail markets across Pakistan. The inflation surge has affected numerous cities nationwide, aggravating the already critical financial crisis.

Adding to the city's woes, Karachi has been ranked among the world's least livable cities in the Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) Global Livability Index 2023. Placing at a disheartening 169th position out of 173 cities evaluated, Karachi's livability score of 42.5 is well below average. The city's performance in various aspects, including stability, healthcare, culture and environment, infrastructure, and education, remains alarmingly low. The stagnant healthcare score indicates the lack of progress in improving the situation in this crucial sector.

People will anyway leave the Pakistan.
So doesn't matter.
