IslamabadOn Monday, the federal government decided to import raw sugar (Shakkar) to stabilize the country’s sugar prices and provide relief to consumers.
Shakkar will help reduce the country’s sugar prices, according to the government’s press statement here.
Importing raw sugar will also help increase the production of sugar in the future as it can be improved and converted into sugar locally.
The decision to import raw sugar aims to control sugar prices in the local market and provide sugar to consumers at reasonable prices.
