And then these Patwaris and Jiyalas wonder why army is backing this govt. Why the hell would they back corrupt opposition that left Pakistan bankrupt between 2008 and 2018.

It's crazy,, but these people actually are so deluded that they think IK and PTI did this within 2 years

And their solution is to go back to to the trash that caused this messand I agree it will take atleast a DECADE to get out of this jail

My only worry is the PAKISTANI public intelligent enough to understand what happened to our economy,
Why it will take 10 years of austerity measures and struggle to course adjust and why it utterly vital PTI get a full mandate
I fear the consequences of the uninformed Pakistani public not understanding and voting for trash like PPP and PMLN again

Army knows the steps PTI is taking are necessary, it was a situation of life and death. Army is fully onboard with restructuring of Pak economy. In no circumstances a country like Pakistan with so many enemies, actively fighting a war against insurgency on its own soil afford a default. We are not Argentina with rich countries lining up to bail us out. It became a priority national security concern.

The problem here is some people even on this forum are not familiar with any metric apart from GDP numbers and dollar value, and most of all no one paid attention to economy related news or articles in past. They can never comprehend the situation of Pakistan in 2018. Instead of understanding the situation they were busy making fun of IK trips to UAE or KSA along with Indians.

I think pakistan is self sufficient in food/agriculture production. Then it is easy to control food inflation. It just needs govt will.
Govt can provide subsidy to farmers to encourage the production and minimum price support to the products.

Various poultry products are getting dearer by the day. The rate of eggs reached Rs216 per dozen mark on Sunday, breaking all the previous records of the increase in the price in winters.


Chicken meat rate has crossed the mark of Rs300 per kg three weeks ago and it is sustaining at the same level despite cancellation of many wedding ceremonies, which consume a large chunk of chicken meat for a variety of dishes due to the ban in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.


The district administration of Lahore has notified the rate of eggs as Rs197 per dozen and chicken meat as Rs305 per kg while in the open market, eggs are being sold at Rs216 per dozen and chicken meat at Rs320 per kg. The authorities supposed to implement the official rates are missing from the scene.


Poultry farmers say that the coronavirus lockdowns have led to a decrease in poultry production with the closure of hotels and ban on big marriage ceremonies. Many of these farmers decided to either scale down their businesses or shut some farms altogether when the Covid-19 struck for the first time.




A farmer says the closed farms had not yet resumed their normal activities when the second wave of the virus struck while demand for chicken products went up at the drop of the mercury close to zero degree Celsius.

He says the people are also conveniently forgetting that poultry feed rates have also witnessed a surge during the last one year because of a failed maize crop and costlier wheat grain and these factors are also contributing to the hike in poultry prices.


An official of the Pakistan Poultry Association tells Dawn that the intervention of the government in the poultry free market mechanism is to be blamed for the price hike as the farmers had warned the authorities before the setting in of the winter season that artificial fixing of rates by the government were resulting in losses to the farmers and ultimately reduction in production of the poultry products.


“The farmers, during the last six months, were selling day-old chicks and broilers meat at an average price of Rs20 and Rs90-130, respectively against the production cost of a day-old chick at Rs45 and chicken meat Rs160.”


The government was urged to allow a minor increase in the rates that would consequently lead to increase in the production but all requests fell on the deaf ears, he added.


The poultry sector forms about 40pc of the total meat consumption as the poultry industry has an annual turnover of over Rs800bn. It provides direct or indirect employment to over 1.5m people.


The industry is producing 1,322m kg of chicken meat and 17,500m table eggs annually.

Time to start raising hens at home. Must be some global shortage. In USA, egg prices have also increased dramatically....although food prices relative to incomes is very low in USA compared with most nations.

I am not supporting new Indian farm bill. That is disaster for Indian food security. BJP govt wants monopoly for big business in agri products.
