ISLAMABAD: The Sugar Advisory Board has approved the import of 500,000 tons of sugar as the prices of sugar are skyrocketing in the country, according to media reports.
A meeting of the Sugar Advisory Board was held under the chairmanship of Federal Minister for Food Security and Research Rana Tanveer Hussain.
The meeting stated that the arbitrariness of sugar mill owners was the main reason for the increase in prices. It was also decided to strictly monitor the supply of sugar and control prices.
On this occasion, Federal Minister for Food Security and Research Rana Tanveer Hussain said that the formalities related to imported sugar would be completed in a few days.
