Reliance on imports

The recent Indian ban on the export of vegetables to Pakistan will have serious impact on Pakistan’s economy. The fact is that the country heavily relies on the import of vegetables from India. Besides profiting Indian famers, this trade also helps the Pakistani people to buy vegetables at affordable prices.Pakistan is an agricultural country and it is unfortunate that it hasn’t taken any action to increase its agricultural output. Recently, the chief minister of Punjab announced a package to facilitate farmers with useful machinery. Such steps are essential to abolish the dependency on imports.Altaz SheerLahore
