Punjab’s flour costs have plummeted, with flour mills cutting the price of a 20 kilogram bag by Rs. 200.<\/p>\n
This reduction comes after another Rs. 80 from last week, making a total of Rs. 280 in less than 8 days.<\/p>\n
In Punjab supermarkets, 20 kilogram flour sacks from various brands are currently priced between Rs. 2400 and Rs. 2565.<\/p>\n
The price of private flour has significantly dropped in comparison to that of government flour, which is fixed at Rs. 2790 for a 20 kg bag and Rs. 1399 for a 10 kilogram bag.<\/p>\n
The drop in open market wheat prices is the reason for the decline in private flour prices. A new batch of indigenous wheat from Karachi arrived in Lahore at a reduced price of Rs. 4025, despite the food department setting the selling price of wheat for flour mills at Rs. 4700 per maund.<\/p>\n
Punjab’s new wheat is likely to hit the market shortly, with a price tag of about Rs. 3500. Punjab has stopped buying imported wheat which costs Rs. 4,000from Karachi to Lahore.<\/p>\n
