The Kerana Trader Association (KMA) refused that the prices of the previous government and retail that have been announced recently, which have been announced recently, described it as not applicable and warning about sugar sales if the revised prices are not determined through consultation.
The KMA actor stated that the sentence that was installed by the government is of 159 rupees per kilogram is not possible, because the sugar is not available at this price in the market. They said that sugar is currently being sold for 180 rupees per kilogram in urban areas and 190 rupees in rural areas due to the lack of appropriate regulatory checks.
The association explained that although the price of the previous party is 159 rupees per kilogram, the costs of transportation and handling paid the wholesale rate to 165.50 rupees by a time when sugar reaches large cities such as Lahore, Rawalbandi Islamabad. Additional expenditures, including employment, loading, discharge, packing and contradictions in weight, are raised to 168 rupees per kilogram of local groceries.
“How can we sell sugar at 164 rupees per kilogram when we buy it from 168 rupees?” Pot requested, on the pretext that the pricing structure is not sustainable. He urged the government to conduct a cost evaluation from the previous mill phase to retail stores and price review accordingly.
Kma called for a profit margin of 15 rupees per kilogram after all costs and called for a joint meeting that includes the province administration, the price monitoring committee, wholesalers and retail dealers to create a realistic price of sugar.
Failure to do so, the association warned that it may stop wholesale and retail sugar sales, adding that if necessary, the management of sugar factories could take direct sales in the open market.
