ISLAMABAD/ KARACHI:
The first consignment of wheat imported from Russia by the incumbent government reached the Karachi port on Monday, raising hopes that the ongoing flour crisis in the country would ease in the coming days, officials said.
The government has planned to import 750,000 tonnes of wheat from Russia by March 30. So far, 350,000 tonnes of wheat from Russia and other countries arrived at the Karachi port.
Another shipment of 450,000 tonnes of wheat from Russia would be imported through Gwadar.
It's funny now a few months ago neutrals were crying imran Khan deal from Russia for wheat and oil ... now all kosher.
