Mill owners want permission to export wheat products and they want it now and they want it subsidised
Pakistan Flour Mills Association (PFMA) on Tuesday decided to observe countrywide strike and suspend production of flour from December 2 against what they called attempts to prevent export of wheat products.
PFMA said that bureaucracy is hatching conspiracies to annihilate flour milling industries of the country by illegally creating problems for mill owners in the export of wheat products.
“We will shut down our mills and hand over their keys to the chief ministers of the respective provinces,” they announced. “Bureaucracy is unable to understand language of decency and we are all prepared to take any step to save our business,” they warned.
Addressing the press conference, PFMA Chairman Naeem Butt, Asim Raza and others demanded that permission be given for exporting fine atta with rebate. Government should fix uniform rates of wheat in all the provinces, they demanded. They also demanded that government play its role in seeking revocation of duty imposed by Afghan government on export of wheat and its products.
