Published September 20, 2021

Lahore: Pakistan Vanaspati Manufacturers Association (PVMA) on Sunday announced an immediate reduction in prices of ghee and cooking oil to provide some relief to masses. Central Chairman of PVMA Sheikh Abdul Waheed has directed all ghee and cooking oil producers to reduce prices immediately, so that the masses could get some relief.

The move will substantially reduce burden on the masses as annual production of commodity stands at 4.5 million tonnes. According to details, the price of palm oil appreciated in the international market by the beginning of this year which also hiked prices of ghee and cooking oil in Pakistan that are now being sold at Rs300 to Rs350 per kilogram.

The increased prices of this essential food item was putting pressure on buying power of masses which prompted Chairman Waheed to write letters to Prime Minister Imran Khan requesting a relief. He also held meetings with Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin, Federal Minister for Industries and Production Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtiar, Chairman FBR and other top officials.

Prices of ghee, cooking oil likely to rise

Waheed convinced the top government functionaries that reduction in taxes will provide relief to the masses and his efforts resulted in a waiver of three percent Sales Tax on this industry.

FBR has issued a notification in this regard which is to be implemented with immediate effect. As this move has reduced the cost of production of ghee and cooking oil; therefore, the PVMA decided to pass relief to the masses without any delay.

Chairman Waheed has thanked the PM, Tarin, Federal Minister for Industries and Production Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtiar and Chairman FBR for their cooperation which has resulted in relief to the masses.

NO price idea mentioned for the reduction by the Chairman Waheed . The FBR must ensure that the benefit of reduction of taxes should be passed through to the consumers without any reduction

What a PR stunt by Sheikh Abdul Waheed. It appears as if he, not the government, is giving relief to masses. In doing so, he got the Sales Tax reduced by 3%.

Govt also gives subsidies through Utility Stores but it is applicable only to such brands of oil and ghee which are of less quality and already cheaper than leading brands. Infact these companies supply perhaps to the utility stores beacaus these are not otherwise seen in the market. Therefore in my opinion all these subsidies are eaten up by Utility Stores people and such companies. Prices of main brands are more at utility stores than grocery stores of shopping malls. It is not yet clear how is this tax subsidy passed on to the masses whether main brands or ghost brands or all brands and in proportion?

Business community is the biggest mafia involved in price hike. The federal govt failed to control food inflation. The edible oil industry is an informal sector where neither factory workers are protected nor being compensated well rather factory owner n middle man making huge profit and all cost being recovered from masses.

Price hike from Rs. 160 to Rs.340 and above means in current regime. Lets see what reduction comes out, expectancy from past is of Rs.10 to 20 only.

How can chairman Mr.Waheed take the credit of reducing price , it seems to due to reduction of tax, what is the contribution of PVMA, if prices are reduced more then the tax benefit given by FBR and PVMA has also contributed their share only then one can appreciate PVMA. Had they mention percentage in price reduction may give them credit of public interest. This type of jugglery should not be echibited.

Good gesture provided reduction in price is mentioned . If reduction in price is limited to tax reduction by Govt. Then chairman PVMA should not claim that association is facilitating public. Mr. Waheed has to clearly mention details 1_ what were the original prices how much Govt. gave tax rebate and how much is the association''s/ producers contribution. Mearly giving statements to gain public sympathy is a topi drama.
