Flour mill wheat rate concerns grow as Landhi stocks spoil
Flour mill wheat rate concerns grow in Sindh as millers refuse Landhi grain, and the Pakistan Flour Mills Association wants damaged stock separated first.
Government wheat stored in Karachi's Landhi warehouses has reportedly rotted, and flour millers have refused to lift the grain.
The Sindh chapter of the Pakistan Flour Mills Association wants spoiled grain separated before usable wheat is lifted.
The official government wheat price cited is Rs12,500 per maund. The sources give no separate flour mill rate.
Sindh needs about one million metric tonnes of wheat, and millers have asked the authorities to allow imports.
The association warns the shortage could intensify in the coming months, affecting flour availability and cost.
