This is with regards to the news report, “Pakistan losing Iranian market to India” published yesterday. Rice used to be one of out major strengths as far as export potential is concerned. And now after the hullabaloo of MFN, watching India usurp the Iranian market for rice is definitely not a pretty sight. What has gone wrong? What has happened to the quality of our rice? I mean there was a time when none of the Indian brands of rice was a match for our rice, and now they seem to be on the up as we take a nosedive into oblivion. And it’s not just about the rice; our agriculture sector as a whole is plummeting to new lows.
