Export of Wheat Suspended by Pakistan to Check Price-Hike
'Pakistan Times' National News Desk

ISLAMABAD: The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet on Wednesday immediately suspended export of wheat to check increase in its price in the domestic market.

The decision came at a meeting of ECC chaired by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz that took an extensive review of the wheat situation in the country and noted the increasing price of wheat within the country.

Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said the country has had a record wheat crop this year and increase in the price was totally unacceptable.

Aziz said hoarding of wheat and manipulation of market will not be tolerated and urged the provincial governments to monitor the supply and price situation closely.●
