It's down to Pak PM 'selling clothes' now as wheat crisis adds to economic woes

After fuel & power crisis, debt-laden Pakistan is grappling with major wheat supply disruption. Pak PM Sharif slammed the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province over the cost of 10kg wheat flour bag. Sharif said, 10KG wheat flour bag cost shouldn't exceed 400 Pakistani Rupees, else 'I'd sell clothes to ensure cheap grain'. A staggering slump, Pakistan's harvest is expected to be over two metric tonnes less this year. Pak wheat stocks slide: mid-march heatwave, unavailability & high cost of fertilisers & water scarcity. The Sharif government is trying to remedy the situation; grain crisis will hurt the nation of over 22 crore people. The wheat shortage has resulted in prices at an all-time high, dealing a further blow to Pak's slumping economy.
