Pakistan might be going towards another sugar catastrophe, as utility stores all over Pakistan have run short of the product.
Based on the news from sources it has been told that the circumstances have brought complications for consumers, who are required to purchase it from the open market for Rs30-35 more in comparison to what it was being sold for in utility stores.
The Utility Stores Corporation have run short of the sugar stock that is present in Pakistan, as told by sources, and to make sure that the situation is under control, six submissions to obtain the product were issued
On the other hand, only 20,000 metric tons of sugar was purchased on the last tender, as stated by the sources. In addition to this they confirmed that it might be taking one to two weeks for local sugar to be accessible in stores.
The Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP), on the other hand, will give out sugar offers on March 2 and even after a deal has been made to introduce the product, it may take up to two weeks for sugar to be available in the country
