Pakistan Crisis Food: Flour finished, now Pakistanis are smuggling food from Iran, Jinnah’s country forced to ‘steal’ in Ramadan

The price of food in Pakistan is skyrocketing

Don told that a family in rural Pakistan had to pay only 10,000 rupees last year for the food which was costing 14,700 Pakistani rupees in February this year. Not only this, in urban areas, now this food has to be bought for Rs 14,190. It has been said in the report that this situation in Pakistan can continue for a long time because last year the country had to face terrible floods and many crops were destroyed in it.

Apart from this, due to the weakening Pakistani rupee and the Russia-Ukraine war, the prices of essential goods have increased a lot in the world. Not only this, the political situation in Pakistan is very bad due to which other countries of the world including IMF are hesitating to give loans. Apart from this, many hoarders have also become active in the crisis and they are hoarding food grains. Along with this, smuggling of these food grains in neighboring Afghanistan has also become a cause of concern for Pakistan. Seeing the rising prices of food in the country, now Pakistanis are forced to smuggle from Iran.
