Unprecedented rains in Pakistan followed by a deluge have inundated land resulting in a severe scarcity of food items, prominently among them staple vegetables whose prices have increased exponentially.
As the conditions worsen, not only the Pakistan government but NGOs have directly or indirectly favoured the resumption of imports, especially of vegetables, edible oils etc. from India during their time of crisis.
In the recent past, Pakistan’s Finance Minister had stated that the Pakistan government could consider importing vegetables from India.
