ISLAMABAD: The public will experience more inflationary pressures because ghee and edible oil prices have started to increase after petroleum prices saw their recent spike.

The Pakistani economy experiences price inflation because fuel costs increase. The government made commitments to keep prices stable, yet transport fares and multiple other products have increased their prices after the recent price hike.

Kainat Raza, an adviser to the Pakistan Vanaspati Manufacturers Association, predicts that ghee and cooking oil prices will experience substantial growth.

She mentioned that ghee mills now face higher production costs because fuel prices have increased, and diesel costs have made transportation expenses more difficult to manage. Her projection indicates that ghee and edible oil prices will rise between Rs100 and Rs150.
