<b>Pakistan pays more for food imports</b>
Thursday 28th February, 2008
Pakistanâs import bill of edible items has risen to the highest ever level of US$2.04 billion in the first seven months of the current fiscal year.
The food import bill has soared on the back of shortages in production of farms production like wheat, sugar and pulses, which have had to be imported in bulk.
During the past eight years in Pakistan, the scaling down of tariffs on consumer items has encouraged the inflow of foreign brands, which have flooded the local market.
Farmers have been the end-losers of the governmentâs import policies.
